The PTEN/MMAC1 gene located at 10q23, has been proposed to be a tumor suppressor gene. To determine the involvement of alteration of the PTEN/MMAC1 gene in carcinogenesis and the progression of primary lung cancers, we analyzed tumor samples of primary and distant metastatic sites and normal lung tissue samples of 30 patients with advanced lung cancer with distant metastasis. The tissues were analyzed for allelic...
