title: [Results of impulse cytophotometry in malignant tumors of the head and neck. A prognostic parameter?].
abstract: Tumour biopsies of 93 patients with head and neck malignancy were analysed by cytophotometry. Ploidy and the proportion of cells in S-phase were measured. Tumours were classified as proliferative if the S-phase fraction was greater than 8%; the rest were classified as being less proliferative. Proliferative tumours produce local and distant metastases earlier and more frequently, so that the proportion of cells in S-phase is of prognostic importance. The response to chemotherapy of irradiation was no different in either group.
