Cytogenetic analysis was performed on short-term cultures of primary ovarian carcinomas from 62 patients. Cytogenetic analysis was successful in 59 cases. Clonal chromosome aberrations were detected in 35 tumors. Only numerical changes or a single structural change were found in five carcinomas: tri

## Abstract Simple nearβdiploid karyotypes in ovarian cancer may indicate either primary alterations related to tumor pathogenesis or abnormalities associated with early tumor progression. We have identified a series of 13 epithelial ovarian tumors with very simple karyotypes. Specifically, these k
## Abstract Twenty malignant effusions secondary to ovarian cancer have been cytogenetically analyzed directly and after short __in vitro__ culture. With the exception of one sample characterized by trisomy 3, all cases displayed clonal structural rearrangements. Chromosomes 1 and 3 were most frequ
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
