An oncogenetic tree model in gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) identifies different pathways of cytogenetic evolution with prognostic implications

Abstract excerpt

To model the cytogenetic evolution in gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), an oncogenetic tree model was reconstructed using comparative genomic hybridization data from 203 primary GISTs (116 gastric and 87 intestinal GISTs, including 151 newly analysed cases), with follow-up available in 173 cases (mean 40 months; maximum 133 months). The oncogenetic tree model identified three major cytogenetic pathways: one...
