Background: Inactivation of tumor-suppressor gene (TSG) by promoter hypermethylation has been reported in many tumor types, including lung cancer. This study was designed to determine the methylated APC and RASSF1A genes in tumor tissue, serum and plasma of patients with early stage lung cancer.Methods: Eighty-nine patients with undetermined solitary pulmonary nodules detected upon CT-scan were recruited in this study. DNA samples were extracted from biopsy tissues, serum and plasma and QMSP of APC and RASSF1A was carried out after bisulfite conversion. The 89 patients consist of 58 stage I lung cancer patients and 31 benign lung disease according to pathological report. Twenty-six cancer patients had matched biopsy tumor tissue, serum and plasma samples.Results: The methylation rates of APC and RASSF1A were 59.0% and 66.1% in biopsy tissues, 42.5% and 52.5% in serum, and 24.1% and 43.1% in plasma of cancer patients. For RASSF1A, different samples all showed a significant difference between cancer group and benign group (P
