Abstract
FISH did not significantly exceed the sensitivity of sputum cytology in finding lung cancers. Significant differences were not found between sputa of asbestos-exposed individuals, heavy-smokers and never-smokers. More sensitive methods are needed for the follow-up of populations at high risk of contracting lung cancer.
