Abstract
Aim. To study chromosomal abnormalities in bilateral renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Materials and methods. Paraffin-embedded specimens from 8 patients with bilateral RCC were examined by comparative genomic hybridization.
Results. 1 to 6 chromosomal aberrations were found in each sample. The same chromosomal aberrations in both tumors in 7 (87.5%) cases chromosomal changes were different in one (12.5%) case.
Conclusion. Further genetic studies of bilateral RCC may give a better insight into the biology, diagnosis, and treatment of bilateral RCC.
