Cancer Cytogenetics
Cytogenetics is a process of analyzing the cells in a bodily specimen, such as blood, tissue, or bone marrow, to find chromosomal abnormalities. As chromosomal changes, including damaged, missing, rearranged, or added chromosomes can be a sign of cancer, cancer cytogenetics can be used to assess cancer risk or diagnose a particular type of cancer.
