A diagnostic marker for early cancer detection

Early stage diagnostics of cancer is important, because patients who are treated for cancer at an early stage have a higher chance on survival. The found marker has a high specificity and sensitivity and can be included in or developed into DNA methylation kits that are used for non-invasive detection of (pre-symptomatic) cancer such as fecal DNA testing. The found marker has been tested in a collection of samples and the presence of the marker was validated in all tumor tissues.
