Abstract excerpt
Currently available data suggest that DNA aneuploidy is associated with aggressive behavior of and unfavorable prognosis in several malignant human tumors as compared with diploid malignancies. However, the diagnostic and prognostic importance of flow cytometric DNA measurements in the case of thyroid neoplasms remains controversial. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate utility of DNA index (DI) and...
