Cancer cell lines are an essential tool of cancer research, but their origin can sometimes be difficult to determine with certainty. In addition to contamination with other cell lines during in vitrocultivation, errors can arise during the initial resection from the patient because the organ of origin can sometimes be difficult to determine. This is particularly problematic for ovarian cancer, where a substantial fraction of the cases represent metastases from distant nongenital sites (1). Once in culture and without detailed patient data, it can be difficult or impossible to trace the origin of a particular cell population. The difficulty arises from the fact that cells tend to lose . . . [Full Text of this Article]
