Chromosome Abnormalities in Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

  • Chapter
Carcinoma of the Prostate

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

Little is known about the genetic changes underlying the development and evolution of prostatic cancer. As in other tumors, however, identification of consistently occurring chromosome changes could allow for more orientated molecular studies at the sites of structural chromosome abnormalities. It is the purpose of this paper to review the chromosome changes which so far have been found in prostatic cancer.
