title: [Present-day goals and aims of the study of DNA levels in tumor cells].
abstract: Aims and tasks of the investigation of the DNA contents in tumour cells are discussed. It is supposed that DNA aneuploidia is a specific sign of malignant cells. Such supposition permits solving the problem of quantitative identification of malignant cells in the complex cell populations and determination of their quantity. Certain conditions necessary for solving this problem are considered.
