The potential of circulating tumor DNA methylation analysis for the early detection and management of ovarian cancer

The potential of circulating tumor DNA methylation analysis for the early detection and management of ovarian cancer

Abstract Background Despite a myriad of attempts in the last three decades to diagnose ovarian cancer (OC) earlier, this clinical aim still remains a significant challenge. Aberrant methylation patterns of linked CpGs analyzed in DNA fragments shed by cancers into the bloodstream (i.e. cell-free DNA...
