Specific chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) in chromosomes 9 and 11 may be associated with bladder cancer. To investigate this hypothesis, in this study, we used a whole-chromosome painting technique to detect chromosomal aberrations in PBLs from 100 patients with bladder cancer and 100 matched controls. We also used a locus-specific fluorescence in situ hybridization technique to study...
