Abstract excerpt
Molecular cytogenetic and LOH analyses of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have shown frequent allelic deletions in a variety of chromosomes where tumour suppressor genes are located. Allelic loss at 9p21 (p16 locus), 17p13 (p53) and 5q21(APC) has been frequently described in NSCLC and has also been described in premalignant epithelial lesions of the bronchus and normal bronchial cells. These findings suggest...
