Determination of cellular proliferative activity of lung cancer with flow cytometry / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

The cellular proliferative activity (CPA) of the surgical specimens of 35 patients with lung cancer,10 patients with benign lesions of the lungs,and 10 normal subjects was studied with flow cytometry.It was found that CPA was significantly higher in lung cancer than in benign pulmonary lesion and it was significantly higher in benign pulmonary lesion than in the normal lungs.The finding suggests that CPA is useful in the screening of lung cancer patients.
