The present application includes biomarkers, methods, devices, reagents, systems, and kits tor the detection and diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer and general cancer. In one aspect, the application provides biomarkers that can be used alone or in various combinations to diagnose non-small cell lung cancer or general cancer. In another aspect, methods are provided for diagnosing non-small cell lung cancer in an individual, where the methods include detecting, in a biological sample from an individual, at least one biomarker value corresponding to at least one biomarker selected from the group of biomarkers provided in Table 1, wherein the individual is classified as having lung cancer, or the likelihood of the individual having lung cancer is determined, based on the at least one biomarker value.
