Summary

Data on SHOX2 and PTGER4 DNA Methylation suggest possible use as a biomarker for early lung cancer diagnosis. In this study a control group consisting of COPD patients with a CT-scan of the chest no older than 6 weeks and a control group of patients with a nodule and ruled out diagnosis of lung cancer will be included. SHOX2 and PTGER4 will be analyzed via PCR.
