RESUMEN
Background: Cytogenetic abnormalities observed in the bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are an important prognostic factor for risk stratification. Aim: To investigate karyotype characteristics and frequency of the high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities t(4;14), t(14;16) and del(17p) in Chilean patients with MM. Material and Methods: We studied 30 patients with MM by conventional cytogenetics (CC) and fluorescent in situ hybridization of plasma cells selected using cytoplasmic immunoglobulin staining (cIg-FISH). Results: Overall, the two techniques in combination allowed us to identify clonal genetic abnormalities in 47% of patients. The t(4;14) abnormality was observed in 19% of patients, del(17p) was observed in 10% of patients, and t(14;16) was not detected. Conclusions: Our results showed frequencies of high-risk abnormalities similar to those reported abroad. Cytogenetic studies should be performed routinely for all MM patients at the moment of diagnosis.

Se calcularon los números atómicos efectivos totales y parciales de tejidos mamarios sanos y malignos, utilizando el software WinXcom y su base de datos; en el rango de energía de 10 keV ≤ E ≤ 500 keV. Los cálculos realizados, correspondientes a los procesos microscópicos relevantes involucrados, muestran que mediantes los mismos es posible describir y diferenciar los tejidos mamarios sanos y malignos entre sí.
We calculated effective atomic numbers partial of healthy and malignant breast tissues, using WinXcom software and database, in the energy range 10 keV ≤ E ≤ 500 keV. Calculations corresponding to the relevant microscopic processes involved, show that is possible describe and differentiate healthy and malignant breast tissues each other using partial effective atomic numbers.
