Epigenetic biomarkers for lung cancer and copd
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Lung cancer and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Development of lung cancer and COPD involves both genetic and environment factors. Due to lack of an effective screening method for early detection of lung cancer, patients are diagnosed at a very advanced stage. Analysis of DNA methylation biomarkers is an emerging field that provides promising potential for improving the clinical process of lung cancer diagnosis as well as COPD. DNA methylation biomarkers provide a range of opportunities for early detection, diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutic stratification and post-therapeutic monitoring.
