[Analysis of morphometric data and ploidy of nuclear DNA from the bronchial epithelial cells in benign processes and different histological forms of lung cancer].
Morphometric data and the ploidity of bronchial epitheliocytic nuclear DNA were studied in benign processes and different histological forms of lung cancer (LC), by using smears taken from 42 patients at fibrobronchoscopy. There were certain differences in the mean values of the area and content of DNA between basal-cell hyperplasia, squamous-cell metaplasia and dysplasia, small-cell and non-small-cell LC, which may be used in the differential cytological diagnosis in difficult cases.
