title: [Comparison between nuclear DNA and histologic grade of prostatic carcinoma].
abstract: DNA nuclear ploidy determined by flow cytometry was evaluated from prostate tissue in 51 patients with prostatic cancer who had undergone radical prostatectomy. DNA ploidy pattern was diploid in 46% and aneuploid in 54% of tumors. DNA ploidy was compared to histological tumor grading. 92 Aneuploidy was found in 0% of the tumors with Gleason score between 2 and 4 in 62% between 5 and 7 and in 50% between 8 and 10. Our results suggest there is no relationship between the two parameters.
