| pubmed-article:992320 | pubmed:abstractText | Comparative cytogenetic studies of a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and the local recurrence of the same tumor following radio therapy are reported. The microscopic features of both tumors were identical. The cytogenetic features of both tumors were almost identical as to the degree of ploidy, the disturbances of the distribution of the chromosomes from Group A to Group G and the type and frequency of Marker chromosomes. It is therefore concluded that the primary tumor and its local recurrence are represented by the same cell lines. Apparently certain cell lines are of decisive importance in malignant growth. | lld:pubmed |
