Abstract:
The predictive value of nuclear DNA content in mammary carcinoma is still under debate in spite of several reports indicating a relationship between DNA ploidy and prognosis. The impact of differences in methodology on the evaluation of DNA data is discussed, and a recent study demonstrating DNA ploidy as a statistically significant prognostic variable on a prospective material of breast cancer patients is presented.
