## Short -term cultures of breast cancer metastases to bone from two patients were analyzed cytogenetically. One metastasis had a complex hypotriploid karyotype with numerous marker chromosomes, whereas the other had simple karyotypic changes in three unrelated clones, 46,XX,t(4; I I )(p I4;p I 3)

Breast tumor development and progression are thought to be driven by an accumulation of genetic alterations, but little is known about the specific changes that occur during the metastatic process. We analyzed pairs of primary breast cancers and their matched lymph node metastases from 11 patients,
## Abstract Metastatic potential of breast cancer may be associated with specific genomic alterations and the earliest metastases are likely to be found in the sentinel lymph nodes (SLN). Using array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), we compared the genomes of primary breast invasive duct c
Chromosome banding analysis of primary tumors and axillary lymph node metastases from 10 breast cancer patients revealed abnormal karyotypes in all samples with cytogenetic similarities between the primary tumor and the metastasis in all informative pairs. Although karyotypically unrelated clones we
