Characterization of the biopathologic events underlying the early steps of breast carcinogenesis may have a dramatic impact on reducing breast cancer mortality. Genes involved in breast tumorigenesis are localized on chromosomes 1 and 17, and numeric aberrations of these chromosomes have been correlated with breast cancer tumorigenesis and progression. According to the field cancerization hypothesis, specific chromosome aberrations may be present in breast cancer and in normal-appearing adjacent tissue. The latter changes reflect the genomic damage that follows longterm carcinogenic exposure and precede the morphologically detectable neoplastic transformation. We hypothesize that detection of these aberrations in benign breast epithelium may provide a tool for molecular risk assessment.
