This study aimed to investigate the prognostic influence of DNA flow cytometry and RAS gene mutations in patients with poorly differentiated (PDTC) and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). The series consisted of 26 patients with PDTC and ATC, and a median follow-up of 10 months (range 1-138). DNA ploidy and S-phase fraction (SPF) were assessed by flow cytometry on frozen samples. RAS point mutations were detected...
