Primary vs. secondary neoplasia-associated chromosomal abnormalities—balanced rearrangements vs. genomic imbalances?

Abstract excerpt

Two quite distinct neoplasia-associated karyotypic patterns are emerging. One is characterized by simple and disease-specific abnormalities, and the other is characterized by multiple and nonspecific aberrations. The former pattern is typical of most leukemias and lymphomas and of some mesenchymal tumors, but it is rare in epithelial neoplasms. The latter pattern is found in most epithelial tumor types, in...
