The DNA index and percent S phase cells were assessed in 45 bronchogenic epidermoid carcinomas from paraffin-embedded retrieved material by flow cytometry. Previously, a comparison between flow cytometric findings from fresh and from paraffin-embedded material was made. The DNA index and the percent S phase cells from fresh and paraffin-embedded material were strongly correlated. Only 3 of the 45 cases were diploid. The DNA index was significantly lower in grade 1 than in grade 2-3 tumors. No correlations were found between DNA index and presence of lymph node metastases, but the percent S phase cells was significantly higher in lymph-node-positive tumors.

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.
