Article Synopsis
- Endometrial cancer (EC) is increasingly common and linked to risk factors like obesity and estrogen exposure, creating a need for non-invasive early diagnosis.
- Recent research highlights the potential of DNA methylation as a biomarker for detecting early-stage EC using minimally invasive samples such as urine and cervical scrapes.
- DNA methylation markers show high diagnostic accuracy, potentially transforming clinical practice by facilitating early detection and personalized treatment plans for endometrial cancer.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health challenge, ranking among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite efforts in prevention and early detection, CRC incidence and mortality rates are expected to rise substantially. Traditional screening methods like gFOBT, FIT, flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, CTC, and colon capsule have limitations, including false positives/negatives, limited scope, or invasiveness.
