Abstract

Lung cancer is characterized as a series of genetic mutations and epigenetic modifications, resulting in the silencing of tumor suppressor genes and activating of tumorigenic genes. In this review, we will explore those lung cancer–related genes that undergo significant epigenetic modifications. These genes include CDKN2A, DAPK, RASSF1A, FHIT, CHD13, DAL1, APC, RUNX3, CDH1, TSLC1, and PTEN. We will discuss the role of epigenetic modifications used as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic predictive biomarkers in lung cancer. The epigenetics of lung cancer have been widely studied in recent years. It will improve our understanding about lung cancer early detection and personalized treatment.
