Improved Grading of Breast Adenocarcinomas Based on Genomic Instability

Abstract excerpt

Numerous investigations have shown that in primary breast adenocarcinomas DNA aneuploidy in contrast to DNA diploidy indicates high malignancy potential. On the basis of the study of 104 breast carcinomas, we describe a subtype of aneuploidy, which demonstrates a low degree of malignancy. In image cytometric DNA histograms, this subtype possessed a low percentage (< or = 8.8%) of nonmodal DNA values as measured...
