Abstract
Diagnostic assays for medically classifying cancer patients are provided. The method comprises assessing a tissue sample of the patient for the presence of a copy number gain of chromosome regions 1q23.3 and/or 1q21.2. Copy number gain of chromosome regions 1q23.3 and/or 1q21.2 is indicative of a less favorable prognosis as compared to the prognosis if there was no copy number gain in the same regions.
