Zusammenfassung:	Provided are methods, reagents, and kits for evaluating cancer, such as prostate cancer, in a subject. Disclosed methods of evaluating cancer include methods of diagnosing cancer, methods of prognosticating cancer and methods of assessing the efficacy of cancer treatment. The methods include assaying a biological sample for methylation of a CpG island associated with specified genes. Provided reagents and kits include primers suitable for amplifying at least a portion of a target CpG islands associated with specified genes.
