A systematic, concise and uniform presentation of the chromosome changes reported in human neoplastic disorders. Due to the dramatic increase of data, especially on solid tumors which typically have very complex karyotypes, the number of entries has almost doubled in the present edition. This version contains several improvements: all karyotypes have been adjusted according to the ISCN (1991) nomenclature recommendations, extremely complex karyotypes are now displayed unabridged, clonal aberrations are classified by conventional criteria as nonneoplastic disorders/lesions and morphological diagnoses (particularly those of solid tumors) have been reorganized and extended to make retrieval of data on specific tumor types more accessible.
