Abstract
Numerous studies have demonstrated the promise of DNA methylation of cancer genes as potential biomarkers for clinical application in the risk, diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Barriers to more rapid validation and application include the selection of target gene sequence, the choice and processing of clinical specimen, and the methodology and technology used for analysis. We present here a summary of the main issues and current challenges, as well as outcomes and recommendations, for the use of methylated DNA sequences as cancer biomarkers that arose from discussions held at the NCI EDRN and NIST Workshop in Bethesda, 2005.Citation
