Abstract
The present invention provides a method for detection of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at human chromosome segment 11p15.5 in a tumor sample from a patient with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and a method for prognosis of the patient's disease progression. The prognosis is useful for determining the course of treatment following surgical resection of tumor.
