摘要
The proposal that a distinct subset of colorectal cancers show a marked propensity for promoter CpG island DNA methylation and associated gene silencing has been hotly debated. A new study takes an unbiased approach and not only strongly concludes that a CpG island methylator phenotype exists, but also offers new markers to define a concept that could teach much about the origins of cancer.
