Abstract excerpt
Intratumoral heterogeneity was studied in human breast cancer by examining separate tumor lesions of individual patients. Tumor samples were obtained from each patient by fine-needle biopsies from 2 to 4 separate tumor lesions. We used a semi-quantitative PCR to distinguish between samples with gene amplification and single gene copy samples. Five genes were analyzed in each biopsy: MDR-1, dihydrofolate...
