The present disclosure provides, among other things, methods for adenoma and/or early stage colorectal cancer detection (e.g., screening) and compositions related thereto. In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for screening that include analysis of methylation status of one or more methylation biomarkers, and compositions related thereto. In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for detection (e.g., screening) that include detecting (e.g., screening) methylation status of one or more methylation biomarkers in cfDNA, e.g., in ctDNA. In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for screening that include detecting (e.g., screening) methylation status of one or more methylation biomarkers in cfDNA, e.g., in ctDNA, using MSRE-qPCR and/or using massively parallel sequencing (e.g., next-generation sequencing). |
