Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies but the corresponding diagnostic methods are either invasive or limited in specificity and/or sensitivity. DNA methylation is present in all bladder tumors and can be detected in urine specimens.
DNA Methylation can be a novel marker of prognosis for tumor therapy, which is also a reversible process in which inactivated tumor suppressor genes are expressed through demethylation to exert a tumor suppressor effect. Therefore, demethylation can be used as a new direction in cancer treatment to monitor the dynamics of the disease.
