Several genes are identified as being differentially methylated in breast cancers. This information is useful for breast cancer screening, risk-assessment, prognosis, disease identification, disease staging, and identification of therapeutic targets. The identification of genes that are methylated in breast cancer allows accurate and effective early diagnostic assays, methylation profiling using multiple genes and identification of new targets for therapeutic intervention.

Methods and tools are provided for detecting and predicting lung cancer. The methods and tools are based on epigenetic modification due to methylation of genes in lung cancer or pre-lung cancer. The tools can be assembled into kits or can be used seperately. Genes found to be epigentically silenced in association with lung cancer include ACSL6, ALS2CL, APC2, ARTS1, BEX1, BMP7, BNIP3, CBR3, CD248, CD44, CHD5, DLK1, DPYSL4, DSC2, EDNRB, EPB41L3, EPHB6, ERBB3, FBLN2, FBN2, FOXL2, GNAS, GSTP1… Show more
