The WID-BC-index identifies women with primary poor prognostic breast cancer based on DNA methylation in cervical samples
A surrogate marker based on the epigenome that captures these components in easily accessible epithelial tissue could potentially identify women at risk. The WID-BC-index identifies women with breast cancer based on a DNA methylation signature derived from cervical smear samples.
