Mapping of genetic abnormalities of primary tumours from metastatic CRC by high-resolution SNP arrays.
<h4>Background</h4>For years, the genetics of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) have been studied using a variety of techniques. However, most of the approaches employed so far have a relatively limited resolution which hampers detailed characterization of the common recurrent chromosom...
