## Inactivation of the Rb pathway in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) occurs mostly through inactivation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16 INK4A and/or up-regulation of cyclin D1. In order to assess the frequency and the prognostic value of these abnormalities in NSCLC, immunohisto

## BACKGROUND. Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung represent a wide spectrum of phenotypically and biologically distinct entities. Their histopathologic diagnosis, which carries therapeutic and prognostic significance, may sometimes be difficult because of their overlapping features. We previously
The p p ! 6INK4 and p I8 genes are members of the gene famil coding for inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6. frequently deleted in many human neoplasms. To examine the role of these 3 genes in lung carcinogenesis, somatic mutations within the genes were analyzed by single-strand conformat
