Abstract excerpt
Two molecular pathways leading to cancer are known. Common-type cancers arise from the 'tumour suppressor' pathway, characterized by gross chromosomal changes and allelic losses (LOH) in an average of 25 per cent or more of randomly chosen chromosomal loci. The 'mutator pathway' has been recognized in a subset of cancers, characterized by widespread microsatellite DNA instability and rarity of chromosomal losses....
