title: The cytogenetics of renal tumors. Where do we stand, where do we go?
abstract: In this review an attempt is made to give an overview of the present status of cytogenetic research in tumors of the kidney. The results of numerous studies in renal cell carcinoma and adenoma, transitional cell carcinoma, and renal oncocytoma are presented, and the findings from the literature, together with 52 current observations, are analyzed and evaluated with respect to their significance for the understanding of renal malignancies.
