Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a multifaceted disease influenced by the interplay of genetic and environmental factors. The clinical heterogeneity of CRC cannot be attributed exclusively to genetic diversity and environmental exposures, and epigenetic markers, especially DNA methylation, play a critical role as key molecular markers of cancer. This review compiles a comprehensive body of evidence underscoring the significant involvement of DNA methylation modifications in the pathogenesis of CRC. Moreover, this review explores the potential utility of DNA methylation in cancer diagnosis, prognostics, assessment of disease activity, and prediction of drug responses. Recognizing the impact of DNA methylation will enhance the ability to identify distinct CRC subtypes, paving the way for personalized treatment strategies and advancing precision medicine in the management of CRC.
结直肠癌（CRC）是一种受遗传和环境因素相互作用影响的多发性疾病。CRC 的临床异质性不能完全归因于遗传多样性和环境暴露，而表观遗传标记，尤其是 DNA 甲基化，作为癌症的关键分子标记发挥着至关重要的作用。本综述汇编了大量证据，强调 DNA 甲基化修饰在 CRC 发病机制中的重要作用。此外，本综述还探讨了 DNA 甲基化在癌症诊断、预后、疾病活动性评估和药物反应预测中的潜在作用。认识到 DNA 甲基化的影响将提高识别不同 CRC 亚型的能力，为个性化治疗策略铺平道路，并推动精准医学在 CRC 治疗中的应用。
