Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is frequently associated with inherited mutation in one of four DNA mismatch repair genes. Somatic mutations in the same genes are also found in a subset of sporadic colorectal cancers. A defect in DNA mismatch repair results in an RER (replication e

Germline alterations in human DNA mismatch repair genes are associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Mutation analysis of the genes reveals carriers with a high risk of colorectal cancer, who will benefit from surveillance. We wanted to find the best predictive parameter of
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines and tumors invariably exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or, in rare cases, homozygous deletions involving part or all of chromosome arm 3p, suggesting the presence of 1 or more tumor-suppressor genes in this region. The gene encoding aminoacylase-1 (ACY1)
Fifty-two sporadic primary non-small-cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) were examined for microsatellite instability. Six different microsatellite markers localized on chromosomes 2, 5, 8, 10, 11 and 17 were used. Genomic instability was observed in 35% (18/52) of NSCLC at single or multiple loci. The tum
## Background: In an attempt to improve treatment results of small cell lung cancer (sclc), combined induction chemotherapy and thoracic and prophylactic brain radiation therapy were administered. ## Method: From december 1980 to december 1987, 112 patients with limited-stage sclc were treated wi
