We have analyzed 30 cases of advanced-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma (stages IIb-IV) by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The most consistent chromosomal gain in the aneuploid tumors was mapped to chromosome arm 3q in 77% of the cases. Acquisition of genetic material also occurred fre
Roentgenographically occult bronchogenic squamous cell carcinomas are early lung cancers that localize mainly within the bronchial wall and are thought to be a good model for elucidating chromosomal alterations during lung cancer progression. In this study, we analyzed allelic losses on chromosome r
Cytogenetic investigation of nine pancreatic carcinomas revealed structural rearrangements of chromosome 19 in eight cases, resulting in a high frequency of 19p losses and 19q gains. To characterize these imbalances further, we performed fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis with 12 map
