“…Ten papers used saliva [9, 10, 12, 14, 17, 27, 29, 32, 50], sixteen papers used solid tissue [11, 15, 16, 18, 19, 23–26, 30, 31, 33–38, 40–46, 49], four papers used blood [21, 28, 31, 39], five papers used both solid tissue and saliva [8, 13, 22, 47, 51], and two papers used both solid tissue and blood (Table 1) [20, 33]. The studies evaluated the diagnostic power of methylation biomarkers as follows: thirty-five studies were based on a single gene [8, 12–14, 16–19, 21, 23, 25–28, 30, 32–51], two papers were based on multiple genes [9, 22] and seven papers were based on both single and multiple genes [10, 11, 15, 20, 24, 29, 31]. The details of methylated biomarkers and their diagnostic powers are shown in Supplementary Table 1.…”
