Tumor DNA content was determined by flow cytometry in 24 surgically resected specimens from patients with primary lung cancer to compare results from fresh and paraffin-embedded specimens. We found a good correlation in DNA indices between fresh and paraffin-embedded specimens (I. = .978), although
Accumulation of mutant p53 protein occurs frequently in human malignancies, including 40-60% of non-small cell lung carcinomas. The implications of such p53 over-expression, usually assessed by immunohistochemical techniques, for the prognosis of lung cancer patients remain undetermined. In this stu
