[Relationship between the prognosis and nuclear DNA histograms in gastric cancer patients with a synchronous liver metastases who were given a combined gastrectomy and hepatectomy].
Out of 127 gastric cancer cases with a synchronous liver metastases, the relationship between the prognosis and the nuclear DNA contents in the primary and liver metastatic foci has been investigated in 10 relatively noncurative patients who had received a combined gastrectomy and hepatectomy. In 3 out of 5 long-term survival cases, low ploidy patterns were seen in both foci, whereas in 1 out of 5 short-term survival cases, a multiplicity was observed, i.e., a low ploidy in the primary focus and a high ploidy in the liver. In the other 4 short-term survival cases, high ploidy patterns were noted in both foci.
