Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cyclin D1 is overexpressed in almost 60% of resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the absence of cyclin D1 gene amplification, overexpression is characterized by allelic imbalanced transcript levels. METHODS: The aims were to study cyclin D1 expression by immunohistochemistry and allelic balance of transcripts in tumor-free bronchial epithelia from patients with resectable NSCLC by using...
