Genetic alterations in primary breast cancers and their metastases: Direct comparison using modified comparative genomic hybridization

Abstract excerpt

Breast tumor development and progression are thought to be driven by an accumulation of genetic alterations, but little is known about the specific changes that occur during the metastatic process. We analyzed pairs of primary breast cancers and their matched lymph node metastases from 11 patients, pairs of primaries and distant metastases from three patients, and pairs of primaries, and local recurrences from...
