Assessing ZNF154 methylation in patient plasma as a multicancer marker in liquid biopsies from colon, liver, ovarian and pancreatic cancer patients

Abstract One epigenetic hallmark of many cancer types is differential DNA methylation occurring at multiple loci compared to normal tissue. Detection and assessment of the methylation state at a specific locus could be an effective cancer diagnostic. We assessed the effectiveness of hypermethylation...
