Chromosomal abnormalities in lymphoma
• Conventional cytogenetics : “gold standard”, but in lymphoma
– Lack in availability of fresh material
– Low mitotic index and/or percentage of neoplastic cells – Cytogenetic complexity
– Technically more demanding
• PCR
– limited when chromosomal breakpoints are spread over a large genomic region, t(11;14)
– t(14;18) and t(2;5) : found in healthy individuals, false (+)
• FISH
– Lymphoma-associated translocations – Paraffin-embedded tissue
