title: The diagnostic significance of nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid measurement in automated cytology.
abstract: Flow cytometric analysis of cytologic samples from four different organs shows that nuclear DNA content of malignant cell populations depends to a large extent on organ of origin of the tumor. This fact must be considered in planning screening systems.
