Abstract excerpt
Carcinogenesis is driven by a combination of genetic and epigenetic abnormalities. Aberrancies in gene promoter methylation patterns and histone acetylation are associated with silencing of tumor suppressor genes in lung cancer and other solid tumors. Identification of key epigenetic modifications has been shown to be prognostic in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Previous clinical trials aimed at...
