The aims of the present study were to compare genetic aberrations in primary sarcomas and their pulmonary metastases and to explore the pathways associated with disease spreading. The primary tumor and its subsequent pulmonary metastasis of 22 patients were analyzed by comparative genomic hybridizat

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content was retrospectively determined by single-cell cytophotometry in primary tumors and corresponding metastases from 32 patients with renal cell carcinoma. In 15 of the primary tumors a diploid/near diploid and in 17 an aneuploid DNA content was found. A diploid/near
CDKN2A has been found mutated in melanoma families which show linkage to chromosome 9p21. In contrast, a low mutation rate has been found in melanomas, suggesting that CDKN2A might not be the first target for mutation in the development of this type of tumour. To elucidate the role of the CDKN2A gen
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,
