Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variants (CNVs) are found at different rates in human cancer. To determine if these genetic lesions appear in Drosophila tumors we have sequenced the genomes of 17 malignant neoplasms caused by mutations in l(3)mbt, brat, aurA, or lgl We have found CNVs and SNPs in all the tumors. Tumor-linked CNVs range between 11 and 80 per sample, affect...

In an interface between brain tumour and surrounding tissue there occur simultaneously two very important phenomena. On the one hand there is a proliferation of peritumoral vessels penetrating into the neoplasm in which they make alike tumoral vessels. On the other hand, neoplastic cells penetrate from the tumour into the vicinity along peritumoral vessels. To determine the influence of the his...
