Chromosomes and chromosomal evolution in human mesotheliomas as reflected in sequential analyses of two cases

Sequential G-banding analyses were performed on two malignant mesotheliomas. The results were interpreted together with data from 3 previously reported cases. Four of the 5 mesotheliomas showed well established stemlines with distinctive numerical and structural changes while the fifth case, which was analyzed six times during a two-year period, was characterized by either only normal karyotypes or, more often, a mixture of normal and abnormal...
