Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation markers could serve as useful biomarkers, both as markers for progression and for urine-based diagnostic assays. OBJECTIVE: Identify bladder cancer (BCa)-specific methylated DNA sequences for predicting pTa-specific progression and detecting BCa in voided urine. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Genome-wide methylation analysis was performed on 44 bladder tumours using the Agilent...
