Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in molecular biology have revealed various genetic lesions in lung cancer. Mutations of the K-ras gene, amplification or overexpression of myc family genes, erbB2 gene, or bcl2 gene are frequent genetic changes of oncogenes in lung cancer. Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes such as Rb gene, p53 gene, or p16 gene are also seen rather frequently. Furthermore, loss of heterozygosity at certain...
