complex tumoral karyotypes
complex cancer karyotypes
Epithelial tumors commonly show complex and variable karyotypes that obscure the identification of general patterns of the karyotypic evolution.
Exemples
epithelial tumors
- head and neck carcinomas
- renal cell carcinomas
- bladder cancer
- breast cancer
- colorectal cancer
- ovarian cancer
- lung cancer
- malignant melanoma
- Wilms tumor
