Cytogenetic studies of five primary esophageal cancers.
In direct preparation of five primary esophageal cancers, chromosomes 1, 3, and 12 were most frequently involved in structural abnormalities; 12p- was consistently seen in all five cases and, thus, could be considered as one of the characteristic chromosome changes in esophageal cancer. Moreover, 2p-, 4p-, and 7q- were seen in three cases.
