Abstract:
The cellular DNA content and the distribution of tumour cells in different phases of the cell cycles has been analysed in 8 consecutive enucleated eyes with retinoblastoma. All tumours had abnormal ploidy levels. The analysis did not reveal any specific pattern in 2 tumours which had metastasized compared to 6 local tumours. The flow cytometric analysis alone or in combination with histopathology appeared not to improve the classification of large retinoblastomas.
