Chromosome changes in renal cell carcinoma.
Cytogenetic studies have provided a great deal of useful information about the biology and diagnosis of renal cell tumors. Particularly papillary and non-papillary tumors seem to be characterized by different cytogenetic patterns. We report the cytogenetic and histologic analysis of 16 renal tumors, 5 of which showed clonal chromosome changes. Most had chromosome abnormalities which have so far been described as specific of particular histopathologic subgroups.
