Cytophotometric DNA determination in human oligodendroglial tumours

Cytophotometric DNA determination in human oligodendroglial tumours

J De Reuck et al. Histopathology. 1980 Mar.

Abstract

Cytophotometric DNA determination was performed on 11 surgically resected oligodendroglial tumours and on oligodendroglial cells in two normal brains. The results are compared with the histological findings, the mitotic index and the degree of clinical malignancy. In this type of glioma there is no correlation between the DNA pattern and the histological appearances and the mitotic index. It is concluded that an aneuploid DNA distribution curve corresponds to a bad prognosis, whilst a diploid DNA curve does not allow prediction of the degree of clinical malignancy.
