ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between chromosome aberration and the pathogenesis,development and prognosis of lung carcinoma. Methods Tissue speciments from 30 cases of lung carcinoma and 10 cases of normal lung tissue were detected using FISH with chromosome 6 probe,respectively. Results All of the 30 cases of lung carcinoma were found chromosome 6 aberration,involved monosomy,trisomy,and even heptasomy.But there was no chromosome 6 aberration found in normal lung tissues.The significant difference was between these two groups. Conclusion Chromosome 6 aberration may occur in the early stage of lung carcinoma,which may closely relate with the process of pathogenesis,development of lung carcinoma.The chromosome 6 aberration may have the significant association with clinical phase and pathological differentiation among the patients.
