Abstract excerpt
Renal cell tumours have a heterogeneous morphology, which may also be changed during tumour progression. Through the use of molecular cytogenetic techniques, it has become possible to divide renal cell tumours into genetically well-defined entities. Papillary renal cell tumours are characterized by loss of the Y chromosome and trisomy of chromosomes 3q, 7, 8, 12, 16, 17 and 20. Non-papillary renal cell carcinomas...
