β¦ Synopsis
Nuclear DNA contents were comparatively determined by flow cytometry in primary and metastatic lesions from 112 cases with stomach cancer. Aneuploidy frequency and mean DNA index were higher in lymph node metastatic lesions than in primary lesions, both resected synchronously. In these lymph node metastatic lesions, DNA ploidy patterns did not change in 79% (89/112 cases), and did change in 21% (23/ 1 12 cases). Concordance of the DNA index between primary lesions and synchronous liver metastatic lesions was seen in 63% ( 9 8 cases), but the concordance rate was only 25% (4/16 cases) for primary lesions and metachronous liver metastatic lesions and 0% (0/8) for primary lesions and lung metastases. DNA ploidy changes in metastatic lesions were marked in distal metastatic lesions, or more marked in metachronous metastases than in synchronous ones. The results of the present study suggested the possibility of detecting changes in biological characteristics of metastatic lesions by flow cytometric DNA analysis.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content was retrospectively determined by single-cell cytophotometry in primary tumors and corresponding metastases from 32 patients with renal cell carcinoma. In 15 of the primary tumors a diploid/near diploid and in 17 an aneuploid DNA content was found. A diploid/near
## Abstract We investigated 230 systematically sampled fresh specimens from 12 early and 26 advanced gastric cancer patients by DNA flow cytometry for heterogeneity in DNA content. Fiftyβeight percent of the 12 early gastric cancers were uniformly diploid and 42% were uniformly aneuploid. Fiftyβfou
Tumor DNA content was determined by flow cytometry in 24 surgically resected specimens from patients with primary lung cancer to compare results from fresh and paraffin-embedded specimens. We found a good correlation in DNA indices between fresh and paraffin-embedded specimens (I. = .978), although
We investigated and compared the DNA content between primary and metastatic lesions from 30 colorectal cancer cases. The findings were only diploid in 2 cases (6.7%) and only aneuploid in 18 cases (60.0%). On the whole, the DNA ploidy agreed in 20 cases (66.7%) between both lesions. In the 18 cases
