Core Tip	The analysis of stool methylation markers as a non-invasive test is important for the early diagnosis of colorectal tumours. However, no consensus has been reached with regard to the role of stool methylation markers in colorectal tumour diagnosis. We performed a meta-analysis of 37 articles, and the pooled results showed that stool methylation markers could be used as a valuable diagnostic and predictive tool for colorectal tumours, and that SFRP2 methylation serves as a promising marker with great potential in early colorectal cancer diagnosis.
