Multiple genetic and epigenetic biomarkers for lung cancer detection in cytologically negative sputum and a nested case–control study for risk assessment
31 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to define a biomarker panel for detection of cancer cells in cytologically negative sputum and to evaluate the panel for assessment of lung cancer risk. We examined 19 genetic and epigenetic markers using a sensitive fluorescence-based method in cytologically negative sputum and in lung tumour tissues from 82 lung cancer patients. We also used these markers to test the sputum of 37...
