An increased micronucleus frequency in peripheral blood lymphocytes predicts the risk of cancer in humans. (2006, methodology): “result in generation of daughter cells with altered gene dosage, or deregulation of gene expression that could lead to the evolution of the chromosome instability phenotype often seen in cancer (1,2,9, 10 ,13,37).”

(2008, methodology): “In the latter case, blood cells from the same donor were used for control and irradiated cultures, and the half of the slides were stained in a single laboratory by a standard Giemsa method [2].”
