Highly sensitive noninvasive early lung cancer detection using DNA methylation topology in sputum-derived epithelial cellsCentral MessagePerspective

Objective: Sputum is a source of exfoliated respiratory epithelial cells transformed early in lung carcinogenesis. Malignant cells are hypomethylated and contain less genomic 5-methylcytosine (5mC). Validating a test that recognizes and quantifies aberrantly hypomethylated cells in sputum, we assess...
