Journal Article
Characteristics of Cultured Human Melanocytes Isolated from Different Stages of Tumor Progression
Meenhard Herlyn,Jan Thurin,Gloria Balaban,Jeannette L. Bennicelli,Dorothee Herlyn,David E. Elder,Edward E. Bondi,DuPont Guerry,P Nowell,Clark Wh +9 more
TL;DR: Cultured human melanocytic cells appear to be a unique model for the study of tumor progression as exhibited and maintained phenotypic differences when grown in tissue culture or in experimental animals.
Journal Article
Human neuroblastomas and abnormalities of chromosomes 1 and 17.
Gilbert Fi,M. Feder,Gloria Balaban,D. Brangman,D. K. Lurie,R. Podolsky,V. Rinaldt,N. Vinikoor,J. Weisband +8 more
TL;DR: It is postulated that the gene change(s) produced by the abnormalities of chromosome 1p in neuroblastoma play a primary role in the development of this cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytogenetics of human malignant melanoma and premalignant lesions
Gloria Balaban,Meenhard Herlyn,DuPont Guerry,Rebecca Bartolo,Hilary Koprowski,Wallace H. Clark,Peter C. Nowell +6 more
TL;DR: The nonrandom cytogenetic changes suggest that genes important in melanoma carcinogenesis are located on the proximal portion of 1p, on 7q, and on chromosome #6.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of the receptor for epidermal growth factor correlates with increased dosage of chromosome 7 in malignant melanoma.
TL;DR: The results indicate that a single extra dose of a gene (for EGF receptor) may provide a selective advantage to cells in the late stages of tumorigenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Karyotypic evolution in human malignant melanoma.
TL;DR: It is indicated that demonstrable somatic genetic abnormalities increase in severity with clinical progression of melanocytic disease, but additional data are required to establish the significance of specific karyotypic changes (and the involved genes) in the clinical evolution of these disorders.
