Biopsies from 28 patients with urinary bladder carcinoma were investigated by flow cytometry and morphometry. Histopathological grading on 1.5 microns thick glycol methacrylate sections was also performed. Nuclear profile areas, nuclear volume densities and mitotic indices were usually larger in the higher grades of malignancy. All grade I tumours were diploid and all grade III tumours were aneuploid. Out of 13 grade II tumours 8 were diploid and 5 aneuploid. In these latter five cases nuclear profile areas were at the high end of the spectrum. The data show that flow cytometry and morphometry could be a valuable tool in the diagnosis of urinary bladder carcinoma. Our data also suggest that a subdivision of the grade II tumours might be possible and meaningful in the assessment of prognosis.

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.
