A case‐control analysis of lymphocytic chromosome 9 aberrations in lung cancer

Abstract excerpt

Cytogenetic aberrations on chromosome 9 have been reported to be one of the most frequent genetic changes in lung tumorigenesis. Although many of these changes have been detected in lung carcinoma specimens, there is growing evidence showing the concordance between chromosomal alterations in primary lung tumors and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs). We investigated whether spontaneous aberrations on chromosome...
