Flow cytometric DNA analysis was performed on 17 rhabdomyosarcomas in conjunction with a histopathological review to determine the usefulness of this technique to predict the biologic behavior of the tumor and to establish the characteristic ploidy pattern of rhabdomyosarcoma compared to other small round cell tumors occurring in childhood. Aneuploidy including near-tetraploidy is the most common ploidy pattern encountered, followed by multiploidy and diploidy, and the presence of multiploidy in this tumor is useful for differentiating rhabdomyosarcoma from other kinds of small round cell tumors in which there are rare previous reports on occurrence of multiploidy. Even though there is no significant correlation between ploidy pattern and histologic type of rhabdomyosarcoma, patients with multiploid tumors or aneuploid tumors with a DNA index of 1.10-1.80 tend to have a high risk of treatment failure. Therefore, the ploidy pattern seems to be useful for predicting the patient's survival in concert with other variables.

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.
