Chromosomal aberrations tend to be characteristic for given (sub)types of cancer. Such aberrations can be detected with array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). Clustering aCGH tumor profiles aids in identifying chromosomal regions of interest and provides useful diagnostic information on the cancer type. An important issue here is to what extent individual aCGH tumor profiles can be reliably assigned to clusters associated with a given cancer type.
