## Abstract We prospectively analyzed the tumor DNA content by flow cytometry in 100 patients who underwent a curative resection for colorectal cancer between August 1989 and May 1992 in order to evaluate the prognostic significance of DNA ploidy and the DNA index (DI). Patients with aneuploid tumo

## 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
Background and Objectives: Parameters that allow prediction of the disease course in colorectal cancer would aid the development of improved treatment strategies. For this reason, we evaluated the prognostic value of flow cytometric DNA ploidy and S-phase fraction (SPF) and P-glycoprotein (Pgp) expr
