DNA ploidy measurements in tissue sections.
Nuclear DNA ploidy measurements based on tissue sections, although technically tedious and time consuming, can provide useful diagnostic and prognostic information. Methods for minimizing distributional errors and optimizing interpretation of DNA histograms are presented, and the diagnostic and prognostic significance of DNA ploidy measurements in gynecologic cancer and its precursors is reviewed.
