## Abstract Endocrine pancreatic tumors (EPTs) are neoplasms with malignant potential. To explore the molecular basis of metastatic progression in human EPTs, we analyzed 17 paired specimens of primary EPTs and their metastases and 28 nonmetastatic EPTs using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH)

Pancreatic endocrine tumors occur sporadically and as part of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndromes. The MEN1 locus on 11q13 and a candidate tumor suppressor locus on 3p are known to be hemi-or homozygously mutated in a subset of these tumors. Chromoso
## Abstract Well‐differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (WDNT, carcinoid tumors) are uncommon indolent neoplasms. The genetic alterations of these tumors are not well characterized. We used genome‐wide high‐density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis to detect copy number alterations
Exposure to the carcinogen asbestos is considered to be a major factor contributing to the development of most malignant mesotheliomas (MMs). We highlight the role of asbestos in MM and summarize cytogenetic and molecular genetic findings in this malignancy. The accumulation of numerous clonal chrom
## Background: The origins of and interrelations between low grade and high grade neuroendocrine lung tumors, typical and atypical carcinoids, and small cell lung carcinoma (sclc) have not been elucidated. karyotypic and molecular genetic studies have demonstrated deletions in 3p in 100% of sclcs a
