Hypermethylation of genes on chromosome 3p as a biomarker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosis: A Vietnamese case-control study.

The study explored a higher frequency of hypermethylation at least one candidate gene. Methylation of a panel of potential genes can be utilized to discriminate between nasopharyngeal carcinoma and non-cancer cells, particularly in the advanced stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Thus, it could serve as a valuable marker for the diagnosis and monitoring of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
