Overview

Narrative review highlights the role of dna methylation and tumour suppressor genes in bladder cancer, suggesting new diagnostic methods.

Key Points

  • DNA methylation plays a crucial role in bladder cancer development, altering gene expression and enabling malignancy.
  • Promoter hypermethylation leads to transcriptional silencing of key tumour suppressor genes, contributing to uncontrolled cell growth.
  • Urine-based DNA methylation assays provide a non-invasive method for early bladder cancer detection with high specificity.
  • Animal models provide essential insights into methylation dynamics and gene-environment interactions in bladder cancer research.
