Chromosomal aberration analysis: Novel noninvasive techniques for early-stage cancer screening.

OBJECTIVE

Chromosome breakage is a catastrophic event that leads to the progressive development and progression of cancer. In order to analyze the changes of peripheral blood microenvironment of tumor patients, to explore the indicators of non-specific non-invasive tumor early screening. This paper presents a new idea of whether the gene sequence near the DNA damage break point is the gene sequence that controls the unrestricted growth of normal cells.

METHODS

The chromosomal aberrations of peripheral blood lymphocytes were analysed in 60 healthy adult and 49 cancer patients before radiotherapy.

RESULTS

The detection rate of chromosomal aberrations was high in tumor patients, and "dicentric + translocations" of chromosomes were detected in 36 patients (73.47 %). The chi-square test showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.01), and chromosome adhesion and dissolution were observed.

CONCLUSIONS

"Dicentric + Translocation" chromosome can be used as a nonspecific early screening indicator for cancer. This is worthy of further study. This index can be used to determine the genetic basis of various cancers at the gene level to modify the base sequence and prevent the occurrence of cancer. It is worthy of further study, and it can provide a new method for gene therapy of tumors.
