The potential of circulating tumor DNA methylation analysis for the early detection and management of ovarian cancer
1 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Despite a myriad of attempts in the last three decades to diagnose ovarian cancer (OC) earlier, this clinical aim still remains a significant challenge. Aberrant methylation patterns of linked CpGs analyzed in DNA fragments shed by cancers into the bloodstream (i.e. cell-free DNA) can provide highly specific signals indicating cancer presence. METHODS: We analyzed 699 cancerous and non-cancerous...
