Cytogenetic studies on fresh human breast cancers revealed that homogeneously staining regions (HSRs), which are assumed t o represent DNA amplification, are observed in almost half of the cases. To search for a possible relationship between HSRs and proto-oncogene amplification, I 6 proto-oncogenes

Amplification without structural rearrangements of the c-myc proto-oncogene was found in 14 of 44 primary cervical neoplasms. There was no apparent correlation with stage of disease or degree of cellular differentiation. The prognostic significance of c-myc amplification cannot be determined from th
## Abstract Studies of amplification and/or overexpression of cβmyc, HERβ2/neu, and Hβras in breast cancer have shown that each is associated with a poor prognosis. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility that there is a preferred sequence of amplification of these oncogenes in bre
