✦ Synopsis
Genomic alterations in renal cell carcinoma were investigated by D N A fingerprinting using the simple repetitive oligonucleotide probe (CAC),. Nine of ten tumors showed somatic changes in the fingerprint pattern compared with constitutional DNA. The most consistent changes were deletions and/or decrease in intensity of a band. When using two or three samples from different parts within the tumor, up to three different cell clones could be detected. These results indicate that D N A fingerprinting analysis can be a useful technique for the study of genomic alterations and tumor heterogeneity in renal cell carcinoma. Genes

DNA ploidy and mitotic activity were microspectrophotometrically investigated in 46 patients with gastric carcinoma. Measurements of D N A content and mitotic index (M.I.) were examined in the mucosal, submucosal, muscularis propria, and serosal layers of tumors, respectively. The frequency of cells
The sonographic appearance of 37 renal cell carcinomas was reviewed with particular emphasis on the relationship between the echo pattern of tumor and tumor size. Small carcinomas tended to be solid and hypoechoic; seven lesions less than 5 cm in the largest dimension were either hypo- or isoechoic
