| | ploidy |
 | | DNA ploidy by image analysis of individual foci of prostate cancer: a preliminary report. | | | Since CaP is often a heterogeneous and multifocal disease, it doesn't necessarily follow that a tiny piece of tissue obtained on needle biopsy is representative of the lesion as a whole. | | | DNA ploidy measurements in PCa: differences between image analysis and flow cytometry and clinical implications. |

| | Ploidy |
| | : DNA Ploidy and surgically treated prostate cancer. | | | It can be performed on needle aspiration, core biopsies, TURP chips or radical prostatectomy specimens using either flow cytometry measurements (FCM) or static image cytometry (SIC). | | | DNA ploidy analysis: This analysis is available commercially in the U.S.A. as a routine test. |

| | VALIDITY OF FLOW CYTOMETRY FOR TESTING PLOIDY LEVEL IN RYEGRASSES |
| | Overall, flow cytometry was shown to be the superior technique for ploidy determination. | | | In recent years a new technique, flow cytometry, has emerged for ploidy determination. | | | Flow cytometry was first used to examine cell cycles, DNA content, and ploidy levels in humans and other animals, but by 1982 the technique was also adapted for DNA content determination in plant material. |

| | Patient Services - DNA Ploidy Analysis in Prostate Cancer |
| | Ploidy analysis by DIA offers superior accuracy compared with flow cytometry for small amounts of cancer such as may be found in needle biopsies. | | | Role of DNA Ploidy Analysis in Prostate Cancer: Studies have shown that patients with diploid cancers (having normal DNA content in cancer cells) have longer cancer-free intervals and survival than those with non-diploid content. | | | The currently used methods of DNA ploidy analysis are still hampered by lack of appropriate controls. |

| | TNM stage II (30%) and III (70%) colonic adenocarcinomas had been analyzed for ploidy by flow cytometry and were categorized as diploid or non diploid (aneuploid and tetraploid). | | | The relationship between ploidy and chromosome 18q allelic loss was also studied. | | | DNA ploidy is a stronger prognostic variable compared to microsatellite instability or 18q allelic loss in patients with stages II and III colon cancer |

| | A nuclear grade can be assessed by any pathologist with enough experience with prostate cancer. | | | The value that DNA ploidy analysis adds is that is that it is an objective measurement that can be compared between labs using standardized techniques and that can be used to perform a quick check on the "ball-park" accuracy of Gleason scoring. | | | Studies have shown that tumors that hae a significant aneuploid peak do not behave as well as those that do not. |

| | Chromosomal Variation |
| | Ploidy refers to the number of chromosome sets found in a cell. | | | We have encountered variations of this word before: haploid, which describes cells with one set of chromosomes, and diploid, which describes cells with two sets of chromosomes. | | | (The opposite term, euploidy - "good ploidy", refers to chromosome sets with the correct number of chromosomes.) Aneuploidy usually results from nondisjunction during meiosis. |
