Abstract
A method—implemented in vitro—for the diagnosis and/or prognosis, preferably in the early stage, of benign or malignant neoplasms of the biliary tract is provided. The method is based on the selection and measurement of the hypermethylation levels of a genetic locus in samples of nucleic acids extracted from tumor tissues and from minimally and/or non-invasive matrices from patients with BTC and a relative comparison of the hypermethylation levels with levels of the same marker in non-tumor samples. A kit for carrying out the above method is also provided.
