Methylation Signature Identified for Brain Metastases of Lung Cancer

When lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, it means the primary lung cancer has created a secondary cancer in the brain. About 20% to 40% of adults with non-small cell lung cancer go on to develop brain metastases at some point during their illness. More...
