Abstract:
Under study was the relationship between "the DNA accumulation index" (INDNA) determined microspectrophotometrically and some cytomorphological, histochemical, clinical characteristics of the tumor in 56 breast cancer patients. Cancer with high (5--8 c) and very high (more than 8 c) INDNA and marked heterogenicity of the population content are more active biologically as compared with neoplasms which have INDNA within the limits of 2 c and 3--4 c. INDNA may be used as an adjunct objective criterion of malignancy for making an individual prognosis in breast cancer patients.
