Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of drug resistance in ovarian cancer is multifactorial, and accumulation of multiple genetic changes may lead to the drug-resistant phenotype. In our attempt to find characteristic genetic changes in drug-resistant tumors, we screened the whole genome for gene aberrations in 28 primary ovarian cancers using the comparative genomic hybridization method. These cancers included 14 tumors from patients...
