title: [Interphase cytogenetics in oncologic diagnosis].
abstract: Nowadays, the detection of specific DNA sequences on interphase nuclei of cytological and paraffin slide preparations by in situ hybridization, the interphase cytogenetics became an established technology in the pathological diagnostics. A historical overview on the development of the technique is presented, the theoretical basis of the detection of numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations is demonstrated and the applications are exemplified on different types of malignant lymphomas, leukaemias as well as epithelial tumors. Combined use of the interphase cytogenetics, light microscopy and immunohistochemistry with the digital imaging techniques can provide us with morphological, immunophenotypic and genotypic informations of the same cellular object which might be a milestone in the pathomorphological diagnostics.
