Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Accurate staging of colorectal cancer (CRC) with clinicopathological parameters is important for predicting prognosis and guiding treatment but provides no information about organ site of metastases. Patterns of genomic aberrations in primary colorectal tumors may reveal a chromosomal signature for organ specific metastases. METHODS: Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) was employed to asses...
