PG - 589-91 AB - OBJECTIVE: To study the numerical abnormality of chromosomes in malignant cells in fine-needle aspirates from lung cancer by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). METHODS: 30 fine-needle aspirates from lung cancer (4 from lung tissues, 26 from lymph nodes) were detected by FISH with the centromere DNA probes for chromosome 7, 11, 17 and X. RESULTS: In 27 positive fine-needle aspirates the rates of hyperdiploid in chromosome 7, X, 17, and 11 were 81.5% (22/27), 77.8% (21/27), 70.4% (19/27) and 63.0% (17/27), respectively. In 3 negative fine-needle aspirates, the number of chromosomes was normal. CONCLUSIONS: (1) Interphase cytogenetic cells analysis of fine-needle aspirates by FISH is feasible and simple; (2) Hyperdiploid in malignant cells in fine-needle aspirates from lung cancer can be used as a biomarker for benign and malignant cells.
