Are There Any Diagnostic or Prognostic Implications of DNA-Protein Crosslinks?
Measurement of DPC levels in cells has potential diagnostic and prognostic implications in cancer. Elevated levels of DPCs may indicate an increased risk of cancer development or progression. Moreover, the ability to repair DPCs could serve as a biomarker for the effectiveness of certain therapies. Research is ongoing to develop methods for detecting and quantifying DPCs, which could lead to new approaches for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
