Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are distinctive, KIT positive mesenchymal neoplasms. The genetic alterations leading to the malignant behavior of these tumors are not well known. In this study, we looked for recurrent numerical chromosomal changes, which may be associated with malignant GISTs, using interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Fourteen malignant primary tumors and two...
