Background. The prognostic significance of flow cytometric DNA ploidy and S-phase fraction (SPF) in ovarian cancer has been controversial. In the current study, the authors analyzed tumor heterogeneity in respect to DNA index DI and SPF. Methods. Flow cytometric variation in DI and SPF among repres

DNA-ploidy in 143 cases of prostatic carcinoma was assessed by flow cytometric analysis of paraffin-embedded biopsy material. The majority of the tumours (64.3%) were diploid, but in advanced sta es the DNA-aneuploidy rate increased from 15 to over 604. No hypoploid tumour was observed and most of t
We examined multiple samples of 65 primary breast carcinomas larger than I cm in diameter for thymidine labelling index (TLI), DNA index (DNAI, a measure of cellular DNA content by flow cytometry), and estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PgR) receptors by radioligand-binding. One or more axillary metast
