The recent advent of high resolution chromosome techniques for the study of neoplasia has conceivably expanded the scope of cancer cytogenetics, making feasible the detection of chromosomal defects in most neoplasias. Because of the usefulness of the new technology, the Standard Chromosome Nomenclature has been extended to give a unified numbering system to the fine bands observed and to maintain a simple system for the description of previously undetectable defects and the more precise delineation of chromosomal rearrangements.
用于肿瘤研究的高分辨率染色体技术的近期出现，可以想象地扩大了癌症细胞遗传学的范围，使得在大多数肿瘤中检测染色体缺陷成为可能。由于这项新技术的实用性，标准染色体命名法已经得到扩展，以便为所观察到的细带提供统一的编号系统，并维持一个简单的系统来描述以前无法检测到的缺陷以及更精确地描绘染色体重排。
