Low homozygous/high heterozygous deletion status by p16 FISH correlates with a better prognostic group than high homozygous deletion status in malignant pleural mesothelioma
…FISH was performed in 93 MPMs and 47 RMHs. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and methylation specific PCR (MSP) were also performed for cases in which DNA was available. Overall survival (OS) was assessed via…
