title: Cytogenetic analysis in 28 radically operated non-small-cell lung cancer: preliminary considerations.
abstract: Twenty-eight radically operated non-small-cell lung cancer patients were analyzed with regard to chromosomal assessment and DNA content: in 13 cases, different quantitative/qualitative chromosome alterations were found. In particular, in 12 cases marker chromosomes and cytogenetic abnormalities in euploid cells were demonstrated. The prognostic value of these findings will be aim of further studies.
