Abstract
It appears extremely unlikely that visual microscopy, including the application of new techniques such as that of fluorescent staining [7] and the determination of the “banding” patterns of human chromosomes [4, 40], will yield in the near future any characteristic or specific cytogenetic finding similar to that of the Ph1-chromosome in chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) [38]. The description of the latter by Nowell and Hungerford [38] remains a singular milestone in the field of medical oncology and cytogenetics. Hence, this paper will deal with an assessment and evaluation of published chromosomal findings in human leukemia and cancer as these bear upon:
-
1.
Specificity of karyotypic alterations in human neoplasia,
-
2.
The role of chromosomal changes (including “markers”) in the causation of human cancer and leukemia, and
-
3.
Possible future application of cytogenetic data in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
