Abstract excerpt
Significant progress is being made in understanding molecular events leading to lung cancer. Both susceptibility factors (molecular markers of risk) and the genetic alterations involved have been discovered. New techniques for early detection of lung cancer based on molecular changes (i.e. mutations in p53, K-ras and rb, amplification of myc and Her-2/neu, deletion of 3p, and microsatellite instability) in sputum...
