In this study, we compared genetic instability in 70 breast carcinomas analyzed by two different methods, cytogenetics and flow cytometry. This comparison showed that each method has its strengths and weaknesses. Flow cytometry detected aneuploidy in 60% of cases, but missed most of the cytogenetica
## Background: Between january 11, 1991 and january 8, 1992, 104 patients with previously untreated, invasive, primitive breast carcinoma were admitted to the authors' hospital. ## Methods: For each patient, flow cytometry dna analyses on frozen samples and on immunohistochemical staining were pe
The percentage of cells in S-phase and DNA-ploidy have been measured in 300 primary mammary carcinomas by means of DNA-flow cytometry (FCM). The data were compared with the age and menopausal status of the patients as well as with the size, regional lymph-node involvement, histologic type, grade and
Analysis of programmed cell death (apoptosis), of bcl-2, a critical regulator of this process, and of the proliferative fraction may provide detailed information on the biologic characteristics of tumor cell populations. To investigate the potential role of these parameters in assessing mammary carc
