Abstract: Examines the genetic characterization of bone and soft tissue tumors (BSTT). Characterization of BSTT by acquired and clonal chromosome aberrations; Identification of mutations at the gene level by fluorescence in situ hybridization; Relation between genetic aberrations and abnormal cellular processes associated with tumorigenesis.
