Paraffin-embedded tumor samples from 125 patients with cervical adenocarcinoma were analyzed by deoxyribonucleic acid flow cytometry. Thirty-one percent of the tumors were aneuploid. Triploid deoxyribonucleic acid content predominated (51.3%) and one third of the deoxyribonucleic acid aneuploid tumors were tetraploid, whereas near-diploid deoxyribonucleic acid aneuploidy was seen infrequently. Deoxyribonucleic acid aneuploidy was associated with tumor size, histologic grade, clinical stage, and high S-phase fraction. Deoxyribonucleic acid ploidy and S-phase fraction value were independent prognostic parameters, together with the presence of lymph node metastases and tumor size. In conclusion, our results indicate that flow cytometric deoxyribonucleic acid analysis helps to predict the prognosis and may thus influence the choice of treatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D011003 Ploidies The degree of replication of the chromosome set in the karyotype. Ploidy
D011379 Prognosis A prediction of the probable outcome of a disease based on a individual's condition and the usual course of the disease as seen in similar situations. Prognostic Factor,Prognostic Factors,Factor, Prognostic,Factors, Prognostic,Prognoses
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

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).

D005260 Female Females
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.
