DNA methylation-based epigenetic signatures have become valuable cancer biomarkers. We highlight the advantages of liquid biopsy based DNA-methylation profiling for noninvasive diagnosis of early stage cancers and discuss the advanced analytical approaches developed by commercial and academic partnerships.
