title: [Advances of DNA methylation in early diagnosis of lung cancer].
abstract: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death and thus a major health problem nowadays. No early diagnostic method is ideal up to now. Changes in DNA methylation occur on early stage of lung cancer. Detection of DNA methylation is expected to be an important method in early diagosis of lung cancer.
