[DNA content and prognosis in atypical cervix epithelium]

At 76 patients an atypical epithelium of the uterine cervix was verified colposcopically, cytologically and by biopsy. The mean content and the distribution of DNA was measured by single cell-photometry of Feulgen-stained smears. These findings were compared with the spontaneous follow up of these cases. No correlation could be registered between DNA-characteristics and the fate of atypical epithelium, which was suitable for a clinical therapeutic resolution.
