An important method for silencing tumor suppressor genes in cancers is by aberrant methylation (referred to as methylation) of CpG islands in gene promoter regions. In lung cancer, methylation of the genes retinoic acid receptor beta-2 (RARbeta-2), CDH13 (H-cadherin), p16(INK4a) (p16), RASSF1A (RAS
