Role of Fluorescence in situ Hybridization in Lung Cancer Cytology
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
There are several challenges in lung cytology including equivocal cytological findings, lung cancer subclassification, and predictive marker analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) detects chromosomal alterations that underlie the development and progression of cancer, and pinpoints targets of new anticancer drugs.
