... DNA content was diploid in 12 cases, triploid in 4, tetraploid in 2 and multiclonal in 3. No statistically significant correlation was found between ploidy and tumor stage and size, using Kendall’s tau test, while there was a significant correlation between tumor ploidy and nuclear grade (p < 0.01...

...Makoto Suzuki; Yoshio Hosaka; Hisashi Matsushima; Takashi Mizutani; Kazuki Kawabe To verify the usefulness of testicular DNA ploidy measurement, we tried some approaches to tumorous and nontumorous testes. Separation of paraffin-embedded specimens into single dissociated nuclei was performed...

...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...

... (87%) were analysable. Of these samples 21 patients had multiple biopsies taken from large tumours and/or bladder mucosa showing an endoscopically normal appearance. DNA-FCM results have been evaluated comparing ploidy and histopathological grade, clinical stage and different clinical status, i.e...
