PG - 1701-3 AB - OBJECTIVE: To study the feasibility of interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in detection of chromosomal aneuploidy in touch preparations of lung carcinoma and its clinic significance. METHODS: We examined 46 touch preparations of lung carcinomas by FISH with DNA specific for chromosomes 7, 8, 9 and 12 to detect chromosomal aneuploidy. RESULTS: Aneuploidy, mainly featured in gains of chromosomes 7, 8 and 12 and loss of chromosome 9 were observed in all of the touch preparations of the 46 cases with lung cancer. The rates of chromosomal aneuploidy detected by FISH were 67.4% (31/46), 60.9% (28/46), 28.3% (13/46) and 56.5% (26/31) respectively. CONCLUSION: Interphase FISH is feasible in detecting aneuploidy in touch preparations of lung cancer. These alterations may be applied to early diagnosis and predicting prognosis of lung cancer.
