The salient aims of this review will be to evaluate chromosomal changes in human neoplasia as they bear on three important areas: 1. the specificity of such changes ; 2. the information gleaned from karyotypic variations which may throw light upon the more fundamental processes and under standing of human neoplasia, and 3. the clinical applicability of chromosomal findings. To accomplish this task we have attempted to utilize the pertinent data published in the literature and have included for reference those articles which have cogent and relatively complete clinical, histologic, and cyto genetic data for the purposes of this review. No attempt has been made to include all published papers, for not only do limitations of space preclude such an approach, but often articles contain too scanty clinical or cytologic information to be reliably interpreted for the aims of this review. The chromosomal changes in human neoplastic disorders appear to be confined to the tissue involved, with all other somatic cells being diploid. Congenitally determined karyotypic abnormalities, coincidentally occurring in an occasional patient with neoplasia, may appear in consortium with the chromosomal changes caused by the cancer. In cancer of any origin the cytogenetic abnormalities are found only in the primary tumor or its me tastases, and in leukemia these abnormalities are encountered only in mar row cells or in the leukemic cells in the circulation or in other organs. Thus, meta phases from the culture of blood lymphocytes in the presence of phy tohemagglutinin (PHA) from patients with acute leukemia, or of skin fibro blasts from patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) , reveal a normal diploid picture, even though the leukemic cells may be aneuploid in the former condition and the marrow cells contain the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) in the latter (1-35) .
