Liquid Biopsy Might Be Useful in the Detection of Colorectal, Lung Cancer

Methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme digestion followed by sequencing (MRE-Seq) was found to be an advantageous method for identifying global hypomethylation patterns in liquid biopsy samples and precisely diagnosing colorectal and lung cancers, as well as determining the cancer signal origin (CSO) of the cancer using deep neural network (DNN) analysis, according to Scientific Reports. Methylation patterns […]
