The results were statistically significant. Importantly, a considerable number of these candidate DNA methylation biomarkers detected both major types of lung cancer, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) as well as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Earlier this year a review was published summarizing the link between epigenetics and lung cancer.
