Abstract
Esophageal and colorectal cancers (EC and CRC) represent major global health burdens with high mortality rates, primarily due to late-stage diagnoses. Conventional diagnostic methods, including endoscopy and colonoscopy, are invasive, costly, and limited in their ability to detect early-stage disease. Liquid biopsy, particularly the analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), has emerged as a promising, non-invasive diagnostic tool for early cancer detection. Among various molecular features of ctDNA, DNA methylation signatures offer high specificity and sensitivity in identifying tumor-derived signals. This article explores the recent advances in ctDNA methylation profiling for the early detection of EC and CRC, highlighting its clinical relevance, technological platforms, biomarker development, and future applications in precision oncology
