HOXA11 and gastric cancer: Survival in patients with a methylation of HOXA11 promoter either in healthy gastric mucosa or gastric cancer tissue was twice as high as in patients with a methylation of HOXA11 promoter in both healthy gastric mucosa and cancer tissue (61.2 months (95% CI 50.9–71.4) vs. 28.5 months (95% CI 20.8–36.2)).
