Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is the fifth most common cause of cancer deaths in the United States, yet few cytogenetic studies of this tumor have been reported. We analyzed 26 primary tumors to identify which chromosome abnormalities occur most frequently in this neoplasm. One carcinoma was well d

Cytogenetics provides important insights into the molecular pathogenesis of human cancers. Although extensive data exist on recurring cytogenetic abnormalities in hematologic cancers, data on individual solid tumor types remain limited. Previous studies of ovarian carcinoma indicated the presence of
In a large series of ovarian carcinomas from 244 patients, 134 cases had chromosome rearrangements. We showed before that the pattern of chromosome breakpoints involved 21 separate chromosome regions nonrandomly and, in 90% of cases with breaks, the breakpoints occurred within 13 commonly involved r
## Abstract Gastric carcinoma (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide and has a very poor prognosis. Genetic imbalances in 62 primary gastric adenocarcinomas of various histopathologic types and pathologic stages and six gastric cancer–derived cell lines were analyzed by comparative g
