## Abstract ## Background The value of flow cytometric analysis of DNA ploidy and Sβphase fraction (SPF) as an indicator of regional metastasis in oral cancer is currently being debated. Intratumoral heterogeneity makes this problem complex. ## Methods Intratumoral DNA ploidy heterogeneity and i
## Background: The prognostic value of flow cytometric dna ploidy in colorectal carcinoma has not been defined clearly. most previous studies were conducted retrospectively using archival formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tumor samples. conversely, few data on prospective studies employing fresh or
