✦ Synopsis

The effect of benzpyrene on sister chromatid exchange was determined in PHA-stimulated lymphocytes of 18 patients with lung cancer and 11 controls without cancer or bronchopulmonary diseases. Patients and controls did not differ either with respect to the spontaneous rate of sister chromatid exchanges or in their response to the carcinogen. We conclude that individual susceptibility to lung cancer cannot be detected by an individual response to benzypyrene, at least in lymphocytes and at the chromosomal level.

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies were studied in differentially stained lymphocytes from 47 patients with malignant lymphoma. Thirteen patients were untreated when studied. The mean SCE frequency [+/- standard error (SE)] for these patients was 12.7 +/- 0.9 per mitosis. The mean score for
