Abstract excerpt
Lung cancer is the major health problem and leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide owing to late diagnosis and poor prognosis. Aberrant promoter methylation is an important mechanism for silencing tumor-suppressor genes in cancer and a promising tool for the development of molecular biomarkers. Ras association domain family 1A (RASSF1A), a pivotal gatekeeper of cell cycle progression, is highly...
