Fig. 2 Epigenetic biomarkers in prostate cancer (PCa) management. From the published data, specific sets of informative biomarkers were chosen for cancer detection (EpiTest 1), as ancillary tools to histopathologic observation (EpiTest 2), pretherapeutic prediction of prognosis and tumor aggressiveness (EpiTest 3), and prediction of recurrence and progression following radical prostatectomy (EpiTest 4). Meth refers to quantitative DNA methylation analysis; histone modifications and expression of histone modifiers are assessed by immunohistochemistry; microRNA expression is assessed by quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
