Abstract excerpt
To investigate genetic intratumor heterogeneity, 42 samples of nine primary breast carcinomas and 29 related lymph node metastases were examined for DNA ploidy status, allelotype, and X chromosome inactivation pattern. Two primary breast carcinomas showed DNA index heterogeneity and five contained a single DNA aneuploid tumor stemline, whereas the two remaining primary tumors were solely DNA diploid. Most primary...
