Characterization of chromosomal abnormalities in prostate cancer cell lines by spectral karyotyping (CAT#: STEM-ST-0378-WXH)

Introduction

Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that begins in the gland cells of the prostate, which is found only in males. Doctors know that prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate develop changes in their DNA. A cell's DNA contains the instructions that tell a cell what to do. The changes tell the cells to grow and divide more rapidly than normal cells do. The abnormal cells continue living, when other cells would die.
