Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic dysregulation is a hallmark of cancer, and aberrant methylation of cytosine residues plays a crucial role in abnormal gene expression in cancer cells. Recent studies demonstrate that 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) generated through 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) oxidation is significantly depleted in various cancers. However, whether 5-hmC levels change during the stepwise progression of thyroid carcinoma...
