[Clonogenic culture of identified cells of lung tumors and correlation with certain histopathologic aspects of the tumor mass].

Clonogenic cultures from 27 lung cancers were realised. For 68% of cases a clonogenic growth was observed, but no direct correlation could be done with the differentiation of the tumor or with the presence of ganglion metastases. EGF in medium increased the number of colonies obtained in 60% of cases.
