Proud of this @NatureMedicine collaboration with #FeedmanLab on a novel method detecting early stage RCC in plasma&urine w/cell-free DNA methylomes. Work led by super stars @PierVitaleNuzzo @Jberchuck @keegankorthauer #SandorSpisak 
1/ RCC kills 175,000 patients worldwide with no screening test available acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.33….
A screening test that detects RCC while still localized (2/3 RCCs) will possibly reduce mortality. RCC and CNS tumors do not shed much cfDNA in the blood!

2/ Developed initially by @decarvalho_lab (co-senior author), we validated this ultra-sensitive cfMeDIP-seq using plasma cfDNA and, for the 1st time, cfDNA from urine samples collected in our #GelbCenter (Chair M. Pomerantz)
