## 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

This study investigated two hypotheses: (1) sufficient cells may be obtained by needle aspiration of breast nodules to produce good flow cytometric DNA profiles; and (2) benign breast lesions do not produce aneuploid G0G1 peaks, and therefore a distinct aneuploid peak is sufficient for a diagnosis o
