Epi1: SHOX2_PTGER4 DNA Methlyation in Lung Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief 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.

Detailed Description
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.
A total of 150 patients will be enrolled in this study. SHOX2 and PTGER4 will be analyzed via PCR of blood plasma samples.
