Disclosed herein are assays and methods for the identification of premalignant lesions, as well as methods of determining the likelihood that such premalignant lesions will progress to lung cancer. Also disclosed are methods and assays that are useful for monitoring the progression of premalignant lesions to lung cancer. The assays and methods disclosed herein provide minimally invasive means of accurately detecting and monitoring the presence or absence of premalignant lesions, thus providing novel insights into the earliest stages of lung cancer and facilitating early detection and early intervention.
