## Abstract Whole genome scanning of 43 lung cancer cell lines at a 100‐kb resolution led to identification of 51 genomic regions with homozygous deletions (HDs). The regions contained 113 genes, including two known tumor suppressor genes, __RBl__ (__RB__) and __CDKN2A__ (__p16__), and eight genes
After injection of 131I-MAA (macro-aggregated human serum albumin), the authors obtained pulmonary scans from 500 patients with various pulmonary diseases. The results of scanning and of standard roentgenographic examination are compared on the basis of 138 cases with definitely diagnosed malignant
## Abstract It is probable that metastasis is an inefficient process in terms of cancer cells. One cause of this inefficiency may be that cancer cells temporarily arrested in one organ are «processed» by it, so that they die before or shortly after arrival in another organ. In the present experimen
