Article Synopsis
- The study investigates DNA methylation changes in individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), looking at saliva samples from patients and matched controls to explore their potential for HCC screening.* -
- Out of 25 candidate genes linked to HCC, 16 showed detectable differences in DNA methylation between HCC cases and controls, indicating possible biomarkers for the disease.* -
- The findings suggest that using saliva for DNA testing could be a convenient and effective alternative to blood tests for HCC screening, warranting further research in this area.*
