title: [Flow cytometry analysis of 67 squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue].
abstract: Flowcytometry was used to measure the DNA content in 67 cases with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. The relationship of FCM resulte are compared with clinical and pathological parameters. The results show that the recurrences are always appeared within 2 years after operation. Therefore, it is important to follow up patient for the first 2 years after operation. 75% of recurrences are aneuploidy. With multiple statistic analysis, only the clinical stage and aneuploidy are related to lymph node metastasis. The close relative factors to recurrence of SCCT are clinical stage, lymph node metastases, DI value and DNA ploidy.
