title: Cytogenetics and molecular genetics of ovarian cancer.
abstract: Genetic alterations identified in human ovarian tumors by conventional banding, fluorescence in situ hybridization, comparative genomic hybridization, chromosome microdissection, loss of heterozygosity, chromosome microcell-mediated chromosome transfer, and microarray gene expression analysis are summarized and correlated. The significance of these findings with respect to pathologic classification and clinical application are discussed.
