Multivariate analyses of genomic imbalances in solid tumors reveal distinct and converging pathways of karyotypic evolution

Abstract excerpt

A total of 3,016 malignant solid tumors (kidney, colorectal, breast, head and neck, ovarian, and lung carcinomas, neuroglial tumors, malignant melanoma, and testicular germ cell tumors) were selected for statistical analyses regarding karyotypic evolution. Genomic imbalances, i.e., net gains and losses, present in more than 5% of each tumor type were identified. Individual tumors were then classified with respect...
