Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for detecting lung cancer using a lung cancer-specific biomarker, and more particularly to a biomarker for lung cancer diagnosis, which can detect methylation of PCDHGA12 gene whose 5'UTR or exon 1 region is specifically methylated in lung cancer cells, and to a method of detecting lung cancer and the stage of its progression using the biomarker. The diagnostic kit according to the present invention makes it possible to diagnose lung cancer at an early stage in an accurate and rapid manner compared to conventional methods and can be used for prognosis and monitoring of lung cancer and the stage of its progression.
