✦ Synopsis

As the end of the millenium approaches, recognition of the milestones achieved in the field of cancer cytogenetics is mandatory. With regard to cancer cytogenetics, the turning century can be divided in three main era: the pre-banding period that has posed important hypothesis and technical premises, the fruitful banding era that led to the discovery of the critical chromosomal rearrangements and cloning of cancer genes and the more recent revolutionizing era of molecular cytogenetics where technological advances permit a global visualization and high-level resolution of chromosomal alterations.

Eighteen tumor samples from 11 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer were cytogenetically analyzed after shortterm culturing. Of the 13 metastases examined, 11 were from lymph nodes, 1 from the peritoneum and 1 from the lung. In 5 of the 11 patients, matched samples from the primary tumor and l
