How is Epigenetics Used in Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis?
Epigenetic biomarkers are increasingly being used for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring response to treatment. For example, the detection of aberrant DNA methylation patterns in bodily fluids like blood and urine can serve as non-invasive diagnostic tools. Additionally, epigenetic changes can provide valuable information about the likely course of the disease and the patient's response to specific therapies.
