[Relation between the DNA content in laryngeal cancer cell and its clinical behaviour]

Abstract:
The DNA contents of 45 cases of laryngeal cancer have been analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM). The DNA index (DI) ranged from 0.9 to 3.39; proliferative index (PI) was 27.3%. Among them, 13 cases (28.8%) were diploid and 31 (68.8%) distinctly aneuploid. Correlation has been found between DI and the histopathologic grades of the tumors. The larger the DI, the higher the histopathologic grade (P less than 0.05). The mean value of the PI in supraglottic types was higher than that of glottic types. DNA content analysis also showed that diploid tumor had a better prognosis and longer survival than those with higher DI values. In addition, the proliferative activity of cancer cell was found to be markedly reduced after irradiation which demonstrates that preoperative radiotherapy is favourable for laryngeal cancer.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
