Gap between colorectal cancer methylation marker research and clinical implementation. (a) The clinical translation rate of DNA methylation markers for early diagnosis of CRC (0.8%) was calculated by comparing the number of commercially available biomarkers with the total number of published biomarkers (from 1985 to 2020). (b) Four stages of waste in the development and reporting of DNA methylation marker research in CRC relevant to clinicians and patients (adapted from avoidable waste in the production and reporting of research evidence.
