Thirty-eight squamous carcinomas of the mobile tongue were flow cytometrically analyzed for their DNA content, and the results correlated with clinicopathologic parameters and patient survival. Tumor size (p = 0.01), depth of invasion (p = 0.05), histologic differentiation (p = 0.03), ploidy pattern (p = 0.01), and S-phase (p = 0.001) showed significant correlation with patients' clinical outcomes in univariate analyses. A multifactorial regression analysis of all significant parameters indicated that S-phase percentage and depth of tumor invasion were independent prognostic factors in this cohort.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
