Abstract excerpt

It is presently not clear if ovarian carcinomas arise de novo or from benign precursors (cystadenomas) and if high-grade malignant tumors (carcinomas) develop from preexisting low-grade carcinomas. The presence of allelic losses on chromosome 11p15.5 distinguishes high-grade ovarian carcinomas fr...
