PG - 141-147 LID - 10.5152/TurkThoracJ.2016.001 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Multiple genetic changes are observed in malignant tumors but are rare or absent in benign conditions. Aneuploidy is the most common feature of solid tumors including lung cancer and diagnosis of malignant tumors is possible through detection of aneuploidy. The aim of this study was to investigate chromosomal abnormalities in cells from non-small cell lung cancer patients obtained bronchoscopically and to evaluate the suitability of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Bronchial lavage samples of 17 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were evaluated with four-color FISH using deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) probes specific for the centromere regions of chromosomes 3, 7 and 8. tested specimens were first hybridized with probes, then visualized under fluorescence microscobe and captured with device's camera. RESULTS: High number of aneuploidic cells were detected in all the samples. Increased or decreased abnormal copies or chromosomes 3, 7 and 8 were obserced in all the 17 patients. Aneuploidy of chromosome 3 (21.35%) was higher than those of chromosome 7 (9.06%) and chromosome 8 (15.47%). Moreover, our results were significant for monosomy and trisomy of chromosome 3, trisomy of chromosome 7, nullisomy, monosomy and trisomy of, chromosome 8 (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: It has been observed that FISH is a useful technique for detection of aneuploidy in bronchial lavage samples obtained by bronchoscopy. Interphase cells were evaluated without cell culturing with this method and high number of tumor cells were enumerated rapidly. Our study has demonstrated that, FISH technique may be used successfully in detection of chromosome number abnormalities in NSCLC patients and may facilitate evaluation of genetic abnormalities.
