About the Episode
Every cell that dies in your body releases DNA fragments into the blood — this is cell-free DNA (cfDNA). Cancer cells add their own methylation marks to it. This episode explains what methylation is, why it is an 'early and tissue-specific' signal, and how laboratories read these marks — with relatable examples.
This background prepares the ground for understanding methylation-based tests such as Galleri® and OverC®.
