Sponsor's own description

The aim of this study was to detect the whole genome hydroxymethylation of peripheral blood ct DNA in normal population, patients with p0\~pI esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and pII\~pIV esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by using DNA methylation detection technology. To compare the differences in genomic methylation levels between different groups, to find out the methylolation site system associated with early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and to verify the genes related to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by ctDNA methylolation. Application of basicization in early screening of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
