Abstract
Cytogenetic and p53 mutation analysis in two cases of severe dysplasia of the bronchial epithelium in lung cancer patients and p53 immunostaining in a third one are reported. The finding of both chromosomal deletions of 17p and p53 mutation indicates that these changes may take place early in the process of lung carcinogenesis.
