The survival in patients with DNA diploid tumor is apparently much more satisfactory than that in patients with aneuploid tumor in stage B and C patients in accordance with advances in the disease stage. The deeper the depth of cancer invasion reaches, the more the number of DNA aneuploid tumor increased in the distribution. Non-curative operation was more frequently made in patients with DNA aneuploid tumor rather than in patients with DNA diploid one. In conclusion, analysis of the distribution of DNA contributes to assessment of the prognosis of colorectal carcinoma in combination with conventional prognostic parameter of clinicopathologic variables., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1989, 34(2-4), p.61-64}, pages = {61--64}, title = {Clinical Value of Flow Cytometric DNA analysis in colorectal cancers}, volume = {34}, year = {1989} }
