## 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. Fiftyโeight percent of the 12 early gastric cancers were uniformly diploid and 42% were uniformly aneuploid. Fiftyโfou
## BACKGROUND. Although flow cytometric DNA analysis has been recognized to be a useful prognostic indicator for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, the biologic significance of DNA aneuploidy remains to be elucidated. ## METHODS. Twenty-five patients with squamous cell carc
We investigated variations in the DNA content of multiple samples from both superficial and deep layers of tumors from 81 colorectal cancer cases. The findings were only diploid in 21 cases (25.9%) and only aneuploid in 49 cases (60.5%). On the whole, the DNA ploidy agreed in 70 a s e s (86.4%) betw
