Abstract: Objective To evaluate the value of DNA quantitative analysis in diagnosis of breast tumor.Methods The data of 128 cases diagnosed with breast disease from Feb.2005 to Jan.2006 in Department of Pathology in Wuhan Center Hospital were collected,among whom 72 cases had benign breast lesion,10 cases had boundary breast lesion and 46 cases had malignant breast disease.Automated DNA imaging cytometry was used to identify DNA indexes of the 128 cases.Results The positive rate was 1.39％ (1/72),30.00％ (3/10) and 78.26％ (36/46) respectively in benign breast lesion,boundary breast lesion and malignant breast disease.The difference had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).In invasive ductal breast cancer,the positive rate was 57.14％ (4/7),76.47％ (13/17) and 100％ (18/18) respectively for breast cancer of grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ.Conclusion Automated DNA imaging cytometry is of some value in analyzing the malignant grade of breast cancer and predicting the prognosis of breast diseases.
