[Evaluation of cytophotometric DNA-measurements of samples from the uterine cervix (author's transl)].
Results of DNA-cytophotometric studies of samples from the uterine cervix are evaluated in normal cervical epithelia, inflammation, dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, and invasive squamous cell carcinoma. As to their significance for cytology-automation the results suggest an arbitrary DNA-value in the range of 4.5 to 5 c by which precancerous lesions and invasive squamous cell carcinoma can be distinguished from benign squamous epithelia. Possibly a higher DNA-value is acceptable if larger cell populations are analyzed.
