Quantitative DNA values in bronchogenic carcinoma.
Quantitative DNA analysis of neoplastic cells often produces standard deviations that are nonsymmetrical; attempts at correcting this characteristic by mathematical means have been only partially successful. We examined the sources of the skewed values and the appropriate means for their "correction." The analysis showed that the deviation from symmetry lies within several biologic parameters. These deviations from symmetry may, therefore, teach something of value regarding the biologic process under study instead of requiring the application of arbitrary "corrections."
