Abstract
We analyzed the results obtained by flow cytometry DNA analysis in prostatic cancer. We considered the diagnostic role of this investigation and the prognostic value observed from correlating the DNA analysis with usual diagnostic and prognostic factors such as staging, grading, PSA, size, etc. Results in literature suggest that further studies are necessary to explain both the biological and cytometrical heterogeneous aspects of this neoplasm.
