Identification of an epigenetic biomarker panel with high sensitivity and specificity for colorectal cancer and adenomas
21 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The presence of cancer-specific DNA methylation patterns in epithelial colorectal cells in human feces provides the prospect of a simple, non-invasive screening test for colorectal cancer and its precursor, the adenoma. This study investigates a panel of epigenetic markers for the detection of colorectal cancer and adenomas. METHODS: Candidate biomarkers were subjected to quantitative methylation...
