Abstract
Interphase cytogenetics using formalin-fixed/paraffin-embedded tissue is now a well-established technique, which renders it possible to obtain “cytogenetic information” from interphase nuclei of solid tumors (1,2, for ovarian cancer, e.g., 3-8). It is the only tool to investigate specific numerical chromosomal aberrations (3-7), amplification
