Differences in genetic alterations between primary lobular and ductal breast cancers detected by comparative genomic hybridization

Abstract excerpt

Infiltrating ductal (DC) and lobular carcinoma (LC) of the breast represent the most frequently observed varieties of invasive breast cancer, characterized by differences in their histological and clinical properties. Although comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) of invasive breast carcinomas has revealed a complex and consistent pattern of DNA copy number changes, the data with regard to type specific...
