5‐Hydroxymethylcytosine signature in circulating cell‐free DNA as a potential diagnostic factor for early‐stage colorectal cancer and precancerous adenoma
27 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Approximately 85% colorectal cancers (CRCs) are thought to evolve through the adenoma-to-carcinoma sequence associated with specific molecular alterations, including the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) signature in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA). To explore colorectal disease progression and evaluate the use of cfDNA as a potential diagnostic factor for CRC screening, here, we performed genome-wide 5hmC...
