Detection and relevance of epigenetic markers on ctDNA: recent advances and future outlook.
Molecular Oncology 2021 May 4
Liquid biopsy, a minimally invasive approach, is a highly powerful clinical tool for the real-time follow up of cancer and overcomes many limitations of tissue biopsies. Epigenetic alterations have a high potential to provide a valuable source of innovative biomarkers for cancer, owing to their stability, frequency and non-invasive accessibility in bodily fluids. Numerous DNA methylation markers are now tested in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as potential biomarkers, in various types of cancer. DNA methylation in combination with liquid biopsy is very powerful in identifying circulating epigenetic biomarkers of clinical importance. Blood-based epigenetic biomarkers have a high potential for early detection of cancer since DNA methylation in plasma can be detected early during cancer pathogenesis. In this Review, we summarize the latest findings on DNA methylation markers in ctDNA for early detection, prognosis, minimal residual disease, risk of relapse, treatment selection and resistance, for breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancer.
