โฆ Synopsis
Flow cytometric analysis was done on exfoliated urothelial cells from 11 control patients and 3 1 patients with transitional cell carcinoma: 9 grade I, 11 grade 11, and 11 grade 111. The determination of aneuploidy by DNA analysis did not provide identification of low-grade tumor cells. Other flow cytometric parameters of cellular change such as cell size, nuclear size, nuclearlcytoplasmic ratio, or cell refractivity may provide better identification of low-grade lesions.
