Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Carcinogenesis is a multistep process, which may begin as a consequence of chromosomal changes. Deletions in the short arm of chromosome 9 (9p) have been observed in lung carcinomas. In addition, morphologically recognizable preneoplastic lesions, frequently multiple in number, precede onset of invasive carcinomas. PURPOSE: We tested for deletions and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 9p loci in...
