Abstract:
Cell smears were made from fresh mammary tissue during operation. There are 32 samples with definite pathological diagnosis. DNA content was measured in interphase nuclei of single epithelial cells of lesions of the human breast by a microspectrophotometric technique. The normal lymphocytes from 2 cases of normal blood samples and from 4 cases of mammalopathic tissue were used as a reference for the DNA value corresponding to a diploid number of chromosomes. The normal lymphocyte had mean DNA value in 11.2?0.2 A.U. and 10.9?1.3 A.U. The rest of the measurements showed: 12.1?1.3 A.U. in the, epithelial nuclei of 10 cases of neighbouring mammalopathic tissue; 22.6?1.0 A.U. in 9 cases of fibrcma of the breast; 31.9?2.3 A.U. in 8 cases of carcinomas of the breast. The cell nuclei of carcinomas showed abnormal DNA values and the multiploid cells were dominant. It's histograms showed a shift to right and either a double-peak or multiploid-peak distribution. The DNA contents of the benign lesion cells were significantly lower than that of cancer cells, but higher than that of normal cells. The peak of their histogram showed they are between 2C-4C.
