Abstract Background DNA methylation of CpG islands is altered in cancer cells. Hypermethylation of single CpG islands in the promoter regions of tumor-suppressor genes occurs already in the early stages of cancer. These methylation changes are cancer-type specific and therefore can serve as early cancer…
