DETECTION OF CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH PROGNOSIS OF NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diagnostic method that can be provided to patients with early stage lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), to determine whether the patients are at increased risk of poor disease outcomes.SOLUTION: There is provided a method of determining a gain or loss in chromosome regions by a hybridization pattern showing at least one gain or loss by detecting hybridization including contacting a sample with one or more probes for one or more chromosome regions selected from the group consisting of 1p, 2q, 3q, 3q, 4p, 4q, 5q, 6p, 6q, 8p, 9p, 10q, 11q, 12p, 14q, 16q, 17q, and 19q.SELECTED DRAWING: None
