Nuclear DNA content of 27 primary lymphomas of the stomach was determined by flow cytometry from paraffin-embedded tissue. Thirteen (50%) of the 26 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were aneuploid. The only case with Hodgkin's disease was diploid. The mean age of patients with aneuploid lymphoma was less than that of patients with diploid lymphoma (53 years versus 63 years, P = 0.02). DNA aneuploidy was more common in tumors with extragastric spread into the adjacent organs or the upper abdominal lymph nodes than in intragastric lymphomas (73% versus 17%; P = 0.003). Patients with aneuploid lymphoma had both inferior crude recurrence-free survival rate (P = 0.05) and survival rate corrected for known intercurrent diseases (P = 0.02) than patients with diploid lymphoma. Extragastric spread of lymphoma into the adjacent organs or the upper abdominal lymph nodes was, however, the most important prognostic factor by a multivariate analysis.

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
D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D004273 DNA, Neoplasm DNA present in neoplastic tissue. Neoplasm DNA
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.
