Epigenetic Biomarkers in Gallbladder Cancer

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is associated with various nongenetic and genetic factors. Lack of specific and sensitive diagnostic markers has significantly impacted the mortality of this disease. Here we discuss the recent discovery of epigenetic changes that show great promise as diagnostic biomarkers as well as potential therapeutic targets for GBC.
