Abstract
There is growing evidence that alterations at specific chromosomal regions are crucial events in the initiation and progression of human cancer. Site-specific, chromosomal rearrangements involving protooncogenes are particularly evident in hematological malignancies. They have a strong impact on the diagnosis and classification of malignant lymphomas and leukemias.
