Abstract excerpt
In order to validate the use of the nude mouse as a model for studying lung cancers, 21 different lung cancers were xenografted onto nude mice and the tumoral DNA and RNA were analyzed for abnormality in the myc family genes (c-myc, L-myc, and N-myc). Six of 14 small cell lung cancers (SCLC) show...
