Molecular cytogenetic fingerprinting of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by comparative genomic hybridization reveals a consistent pattern of chromosomal alterations
1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
Esophageal cancer is the third most prevalent gastrointestinal malignancy in the world. The tumor responds poorly to various therapeutic regimens and the genetic events underlying esophageal carcinogenesis are not well understood. To identify overall chromosomal aberrations in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, we performed comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). All 17 tumor samples were found to exhibit...
