Determination of DNA ploidy in 61 samples of primary Fallopian-tube carcinoma (FTC) by use of image cytometry is presented. Of these samples, 48 showed an aneuploid DNA content. Patients with euploid DNA content showed a median survival time of 33.8 months compared to 24.5 months for aneuploid cases. A high incidence of aneuploid tumors was consistently observed among all FIGO stages and in all groups of histologic grading. However, no correlation between ploidy and FIGO stage or histologic grading could be demonstrated. This observation could be regarded as a marker for the high aggressiveness of FTC which has been repeatedly described in the past.

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.
