Abstract excerpt
Recent developments in the molecular genetics of human cancers shows the importance of multiple genetic alterations in the pathogenesis of these lesions. DNA diagnostic techniques are being introduced rapidly into the clinical laboratory setting. 1) In lung cancer, several oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, such as ras, myc, p53, RB, allelic loss of chromosomes, play very important roles. These genetic changes...
