We evaluated laser scanning cytometry (LSC) by comparing nuclear DNA ploidy determined by LSC and by flow cytometry (FCM) i n 77 samples of human colorectal cancer from 48 patients. Both methods revealed an aneuploid peak in 30 (62.5%) of the cases, although two samples that were aneuploid by LSC we

✦ Synopsis
The DNA content in 37 tumors from 34 women with gynecological cancer was measured by flow cytometry (FCM) and interactive image cytometry (ICM). Agreement was obtained in 81% of cases as regards ploidy levels, but seven tumors (19%) showed different ploidies. Of these, five were classified as diploid by FCM but either aneuploid (three cases) or polyploid (two cases) by ICM. Two other tumors were aneuploid by ICM but polyploid (one case) and unclassifiable (one case) by FCM. All tumors classified as aneuploid by FCM were also aneuploid by ICM, and all tumors classified diploid 'This study was supported by the Norwegian Cancer Society (grants 88234 and R8290).

## Expression of the proliferation-associated nuclear antigen Ki-67 was studied in 27 human non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). We measured immunohistochemical Ki-67 labeling indices using image cytometry (ICM) and flow cytometry (FCM) and compared the indices determined with the two methods. Ki
