DNA methylation predicts recurrence from resected stage III proximal colon cancer

In colorectal cancer (CRC), DNA methylation anomalies define distinct subgroups termed CpG island methylator phenotype 1 (CIMP1), CIMP2, and CIMP‐negative. The role of this classification in predicting recurrence and disease‐free survival (DFS) in resected stage III CRC was evaluated.
