Abstract:
Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) was analyzed in lymphocytes of 21 patients with carcinoma in situ of cervix uteri and 19 control subjects. The mean SCE frequencies were 8.92 +/- 0.31 (n = 417) and 6.94 +/- 0.23, (n = 375) per metaphase in patients and controls, respectively. The increase of SCE levels in cancer patients was highly significant in respect to controls (p less than 0.001). Together with data of other authors in patients with precancerous and cancerous lesions of the cervix, our results suggest that there is no correlation between SCE rate and severity of cancerous lesions.
