Popis: DNA nuclear ploidy determined by flow cytometry was evaluated from prostatic tissue in 64 patients with prostatic cancer who had undergone radical prostatectomy. DNA ploidy was compared to tumour stage, tumour grading (Gleason score), PSA. DNA ploidy pattern was diploid in 46% and aneuploid in 54% of the tumours. Tumours pathologically staged B acc. to AUS were aneuploid in 25%, those staged C in 59% and those staged D in 66.6%. Aneuploidy was found in 36% of the tumours with Gleason score between 2 and 4, in 63% between 5 and 7 and in 45% between 8 and 10. Mean preoperative seric PSA was 34.3 ng/ml in diploid tumours and 39.8 ng/ml in aneuploid neoplasms. Our results suggest no relationship between tumour stage, grade and preoperative PSA.
