## Abstract Lynch syndrome is an inherited disease resulting predominantly in colorectal cancer (CRC). The crucial cause is DNA mismatch repair (MMR) malfunction that is associated mostly with __MLH1__ or __MSH2__ germline mutations. A significant hallmark of repair defects is a high level of insta

## Abstract Breast cancer is a molecularly, biologically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders. Understanding this diversity is essential to improving diagnosis and optimizing treatment. Both genetic and acquired epigenetic abnormalities participate in cancer, but the involvement of the e
In vitro cultivated cells of 28 colorectal cancers were analyzed for chromosomal abnormalities that might signal amplification of DNA, either as double minutes (DMs) or homogeneously staining chromosomal regions (HSRs). Cells derived from 18 tumors showed DMs in I0 to IOO% of all metaphases examined
The aim of this study was to investigate DNA index and S phase fraction as prognostic indicators. DNA aneuploidy (an abnormal unclear DNA content) is associated with poor prognosis as compared with DNA diploid carcinomas. Enzymatically dissociated cells exhibited growth in most cases in short term c
