Prognostic value of DNA ploidy and nuclear morphometry in renal cell carcinoma / 重庆医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To determine the prognostic value of DNA ploidy and nuclear morphometry,and its relations to nuclear grading in renal cell carcinoma.Methods:Pathological grading were done in 47cases of renal cell carcinoma in accordance with the system proposed by Fuhrman et al.Feulgen staining were performed in the tumor histological slides,and the technique of image cytometry was used to quantitate nuclear DNA ploidy and nuclear morphological parameters.The results combined with the data of clinical follow up were analyzed.Results:The mean DNA ploidy in grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ was mainly 2C,≥5C cells less than 10%;the 2C cells in grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ were lower than in grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ,≥5C cells were more than 20%.Among the four grades DNA ploidy were statistically different( P
