Abstract
Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies were studied in differentially stained lymphocytes from 47 patients with malignant lymphoma. Thirteen patients were untreated when studied. The mean SCE frequency [±standard error (SE)] for these patients was 12.7±0.9 per mitosis. The mean score for 40 controls was 6.1±0.3. SCE mean scores were significantly higher in the untreated patients than in the controls (PPP<0.05) than that found in patients who had received regimens that did not contain cyclophosphamide in the prior 4 weeks (11.1±1.3) or who had been off drugs for at least 8 weeks (10.1±0.8). Our data suggest that untreated patients with malignant lymphoma have elevated SCE frequencies, which may be further increased by certain chemotherapeutic agents.Keywords
