... and chemotherapy induce a variety of cytological effects (toxic and/or metabolical) which may lead to cytological misinterpretations in the follow-up. DNA measurements by means of single-cell spectrocytophotometry show that the cytological effects induced by the above-mentioned therapies are not accompanied...

...T. Liedl Over the last few years cytological investigations of bladder lavage have gained ever-increasing importance in the diagnosis and follow-up of bladder tumors. Flow cytometric DNA analysis is searching for more objective ways to characterize tumor tissue beyond its morphological...

...V. Borgmann; H. Al-Abadi; R. Nagel In 55 patients with urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis or ureter, the ploidy, the DNA heterogeneity and the counts of cell cycle phases in the tumor were examined by means of single-cell DNA cytophotometry in order to find more prognostic factors than those...

...William A. Neill; Mary Norval; Fouad K. Habib Flow cytometry was used to analyse the DNA content of 20 unfixed prostatic specimens obtained from patients with cancer of the prostate. The tumours were of different stages and grades of differentiation and the numbers of cells in each phase...

...Tülay Akçay; Ilker Saygılı; Gülnur Andican; Veli Yalçın Introduction: Reactive oxygen species-induced damage to DNA plays a major role in carcinogenesis. Methods: In order to estimate the level of oxidative damage in bladder cancer, 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was determined in DNA...
