## Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common cancer in Southern China but rare in Western countries. To search for genetic alterations in NPC, we examined a series of 20 primary tumours with comparative genomic hybridisation. The identified common chromosomal alterations included gain of chromoso

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) allows detection of chromosomal imbalances in whole genomes in a comprehensive manner. With this approach, ten cases of prostate cancer (seven primary tumors and three metastases) were analyzed. Frequent chromosomal gains detected by CGH involved chromosome ar
To extend the results of conventional cytogenetic analysis of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), we applied the new molecular cytogenetic method of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), which enables the detection of chromosomal imbalances without the need for dividing cells.

A series of 18 primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs), the most common malignant central nervous system tumors of childhood. were analyzed with the recently developed approach of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). In five cases, in which only small amounts of DNA were available, universal po
