The results indicated that in a portion of pleomorphic adenoma, the nuclear DNA content had altered and possessed malignant potential before any evidence of malignancy could be found under lightmicroscope. The increase of S% and PI, which followed the course of tumor development, has a close relation with the capsular invasion and the recurrence. There was a significant difference on the DI, S%, PI as well as the incidence of heteroploid between the recurrent and the incipient tumor. A great portion of recurrent tumors, which still diagnosed as benign pathologically, was acually heteroploid.展开更多

One of the 5 benign (20%), 2 of the 11 borderline (18.18%), and 30 of the 57 malignant (52. 63%) tumors were aneuplold. The occurrence rate of aneuploidy In malignant tumors was higher than In benign and borderline tumors ( P < 0. 05 ). Furthermore, aneuploidy was more frequently In the advanced stages (Ⅲ -Ⅳ ) (77. 7%) than in the early stages (Ⅰ - Ⅱ ) (9. 5%) (P<0. 005). The occurrence rate of DNA aneuploidy was higher in patients associated with ascites and the residual tumor≥.2 cm. Patients with aneuploid tumors had more of ten ascites (P<0. 005) and residual tumor size≥2cm (P< 0.005). There was no apparent correlation between the DNA ptoidy and the histologic grade, histologic type of the tumors. G0/G1 cell proportion of DNA diplold tumors in advanced carcinoma (64. 6%) was less than those of early stage carcinoma (75. 9% ) (P<0. 05). The survival rate of diplold tumor patients was higher than that of aneuploid tumor patients in the different time after operation, and the median survival time was 30. 2 months and 10. 3 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that cellular DNA ploidy was the most Important predictive factor (P = 0. 007) of prognosis, followed by residual tumor size (P= 0. 05). Different tumor specimen of the same patient can exhibit variation sometime (38. 9%).The results revealed that the DNA ploidy may reflect tumor biological characteristics, I. e. , Its proliferative ability. Analysis of cellular DNA content of epithelial ovarian tumors would help us to predict the prognosis of the patients better.展开更多
