Comparative single cell and flow DNA analysis in aspiration biopsies from breast carcinomas.
The DNA distribution patterns in fine needle aspirates from 17 breast carcinomas was analysed, using single cell and flow cytophotometric techniques. A good correlation was observed to exist between the modal DNA values obtained by the two methods. Advantages and disadvantages of the two methods are discussed.
