title: Flow cytometry in urologic oncology.
abstract: Flow cytometers have proved to be useful research tools in cellular biology. By using these devices, rapid and objective measurements of a variety of cellular parameters can be made on a cell-by-cell basis. The application of flow cytometers to the study of urologic neoplasms is at present very preliminary. The available literature on the flow cytometric study of urologic tumors is presented and discussed.
