Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for assessing the generalized genetic change which occurs during tumorigenesis. The method relies on measurement of loss of a large number of alleles from the chromosomes of the tumor cells. The alleles are RFLP markers. The role of any of the particular alleles in tumorigenesis need not be known. The amount of allelic loss allows a prognosis to be made regarding tumor metastasis, tumor recurrence, and mortality.
