Abstract excerpt
The hypothesis that ovarian cancer is multifocal in origin was examined using molecular genetic techniques. Patterns of allelic deletion on chromosome 17 were studied in 16 informative cases of Stage III serous epithelial ovarian carcinoma. DNA was extracted from specimens collected from the omentum and both ovaries, and the specific alleles and chromosomal loci involved in the deletion were identified and...
