摘要
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major cancers in the world and the second death-causing cancer in the USA. CRC development involves genetic and epigenetic alterations. Changes in DNA methylation status are believed to be involved at different stages of CRC. Promoter silencing via DNA methylation and hypomethylation of oncogenes alters gene expression and can be used as a tool for the early detection of colonic lesions. DNA methylation use as a diagnostic and prognostic marker has been described for many cancers including CRC. CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) is one of the underlying CRC mechanisms. This review aims to define methylation signatures in CRC. The analysis of DNA methylation profile in combination with the pathological diagnosis would be useful in predicting CRC tumor evolution and their prognostic behavior.
