title: [Flow cytometry and digestive pathologies].
abstract: Flow cytometry provides rapid evaluation of nuclear DNA content and cell cycle analysis. The major applications of flow cytometry in gastroenterology are the evaluation of DNA content and proliferative indices as prognostic indicators of gastrointestinal malignancies, and the screening of premalignant conditions of the digestive tract.
