SIGNIFICANCE OF CLINICOPATHOLOGY IN QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENT OF DNA CONTENT IN HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

DNA content of 38 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) was quantitatively determined by means of image analysis technology .The results showed that DNA content in HCC was correlated well with the tumor size, capsule breaking, cancerous thrombus forming and clinical prognosis, that is, the higher DNA content was, the more malignance appeared, but not with the clinical staging and pathological grading of HCC. 66.7% of DNA diploid/near diploid HCC were less than or equal to 3cm in diameter, whereas 75% of DNA aneuploid HCC were more than 3cm in diameter (P
