The researches have demonstrated that epigenetic changes are closely related to drug resistance of tumor. DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification. In this paper, the relationships between hMLH1 promoter aberrant methylation and platinum-resistance, and DAPK promoter aberrant methylation and EGFR-TKI resistance in lung cancer will be briefly reviewed. Key words: Lung neoplasms; hMLH1; DAPK; DNA methylation; Drug resistance, neoplasms
