Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to the fields of genetics and oncology and provides methods for predicting and identifying tumors of epithelial origin. Specifically, the present invention relates to a novel method of predicting tumor initiation, tumor progression and/or carcinomas, the method comprising detecting genetic abnormality associated with tumors of epithelial origin. The present invention further relates to a novel method of identifying an individual with potential for developing carcinoma, the method comprising detection of genetic abnormalities. The present invention also relates to a method of predicting the progression of carcinomas and the transformation thereof to an aggressive variant, the method comprising detection of genetic abnormalities, which indicate the probability to develop carcinoma. The present invention also relates to a use of specific chromosomal region, a gene or a fragment thereof, and/or genetic markers for predicting tumor initiation, tumor progression and/or carcinoma. The present invention also relates to a use of specific chromosomal region or a gene or a fragment thereof in therapy, for the development of therapy, and for the preparation of a medicament for treating tumors of epithelial origin.
