Cytogenetic studies of five gastric carcinomas metastatic to the pleura.
A cytogenetic analysis was made of five pleural effusions from gastric carcinoma metastasis. Two had hyperdiploid karyotypes, another two were near-triploid, and one was between triploid and tetraploid. Our results show chromosome 16 gain in a high percentage of cells.
