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
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
## Abstract We prospectively analyzed the tumor DNA content by flow cytometry in 100 patients who underwent a curative resection for colorectal cancer between August 1989 and May 1992 in order to evaluate the prognostic significance of DNA ploidy and the DNA index (DI). Patients with aneuploid tumo
