Cellular DNA-ploidy in 74 clinically detected intraductal breast carcinomas (IDCs) was analysed by flow cytometry. The histograms were classified as either diploid or aneuploid, and the DNA ploidy pattern compared with that of invasive breast carcinomas and normal breast tissue. All normal breast tissues were diploid while 28 (38%) of the IDCs were aneuploid, the DNA indices ranging from 1.32 to 2.00. The frequency of aneuploidy in invasive ductal carcinomas (73%) was significantly higher (P = 0.003), DNA index ranging from 1.34 to 2.92, compared with that in IDCs. Retrospectively, 14.5% of the patients had invasive breast cancer 16-166 months after the diagnosis of IDC. Neither DNA ploidy nor histopathological classification alone predicted clinical outcome, but patients with DNA diploid non-comedo IDC had a more favourable course.

D002285	Carcinoma, Intraductal, Noninfiltrating	A noninvasive (noninfiltrating) carcinoma of the breast characterized by a proliferation of malignant epithelial cells confined to the mammary ducts or lobules, without light-microscopy evidence of invasion through the basement membrane into the surrounding stroma.

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.
