Cytogenetic aberrations in colorectal adenocarcinomas and their correlation with clinicopathologic features

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the karyotypes of colorectal carcinomas and, in particular, about how the cytogenetic findings correlate with clinicopathologic features. METHODS: Short-term cultures from 49 colorectal adenocarcinomas were analyzed cytogenetically. The karyotypes were correlated with grade, stage, lymphocytic infiltration, and site (using the chi-square test), with patient age and tumor size...
