Epigenetics of Bladder Cancer

Epigenetic changes are closely associated with tumor development and prognosis of bladder cancer, and its detection in specimens (tissue/body fluid) may be feasible and more sensitive than conventional methods. Additionally, the epigenetic changes are interesting from a clinical point of view because it may be possible to reverse epigenetic changes and restore the gene function. Epigenetic markers might therefore be more useful than conventional molecular markers for the detection, prediction of prognosis, and treatment of bladder cancer.
