Aberrant methylated key genes of methyl group metabolism within the molecular etiology of urothelial carcinogenesis

Abstract Urothelial carcinoma (UC), the most common cancer of the urinary bladder causes severe morbidity and mortality, e.g. about 40.000 deaths in the EU annually, and incurs considerable costs for the health system due to the need for prolonged treatments and long-term monitoring. Extensive aberr...
