Low copy number and low oxidative damage of mitochondrial DNA are associated with tumor progression in lung cancer tissues after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
7 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
The decrease in the copy number of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in cancer tissues might be associated with a decrease in oxidative mtDNA damage to achieve cancer immortalization and progression. Lung cancer specimens were collected from 29 patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection. The relative mtDNA copy number and the oxidative mtDNA...
