Abstract

See full text

The present application relates to the field of cancer, particular to hypoxic tumors. It was found that hypoxia is an important driver for hypermethylation of (promoters of) tumor suppressor genes. As this hypermethylation is a stable signature that is also present in circulating tumor DNA in peripheral blood, detecting this methylation pattern is a surrogate marker for tumor hypoxia. This can be used to adapt therapy as well.
