Correlation Between Genomic Imbalances, Cell Proliferation and Tumor Size in Sporadic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

#967

Introduction: The pathogenesis of sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) is poorly understood.

Aim(s): To increase knowledge about the genetic mechanisms underlying sporadic pNET.

Materials and methods: Genome-wide screening of 16 surgical specimens from 15 patients with sporadic pNET was performed, combining G-band karyotyping and high resolution comparative genomic hybridization (HR-CGH).
