Flow cytometric studies of archival material from 22 adrenal carcinomas demonstrated aneuploidy in 21 of 22 cases. Heterogeneity of nuclear DNA was found in 14 of the 22 cases. Eight of these showed distinct aneuploid and diploid populations, and 6 showed multiple aneuploid cell lines. The heterogeneity was detected because numerous paraffin-embedded samples of each tumor could be examined. No correlation was found between either aneuploidy or heterogeneous DNA content and patient survival, response to therapy, or hormone secretion.

D004273 DNA, Neoplasm DNA present in neoplastic tissue. Neoplasm DNA
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
