BARCELONA – Researchers from the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital in Hangzhou, China have found what they believe could be a DNA methylation signature predictive of central nervous system metastases in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
In a presentation at the annual meeting of the European Society for Medical Oncology in Barcelona on Friday, Zheijang researcher Yanjun Xu reported her group's work in analyzing DNA mutations and methylation to find possible biomarkers of lung cancer metastasis to the brain or the leptomeninges.
