Loss of expression of fragile gene products, Fhit and Wwox, occurs in many cancer types, with loss exhibited early in the neoplastic process in some. Wwox has been understudied in pancreatobiliary cancers, especially in relation to other involved tumor suppressors. We have assessed the status of the Fhit and Wwox proteins encoded by DNA damage susceptible chromosome fragile sites encompassed by FHIT and WWOX tumor suppressor genes.
