Detection of early stage pancreatic cancer using 5-hydroxymethylcytosine signatures in circulating cell free DNA

Circulating DNA detected in plasma can be used for diagnostic purposes. Here, the authors show that the 5-hydroxymethyl cytosine biomarker from plasma-derived cell free DNA can be used to detect early stage pancreatic cancer.
