  • Correlation between DNA ploidy by flow cytometry and chromosome 3 aberration in oral squamous cell carcinoma 
    Hemmer, J.; Kraft, K.; Van Heerden, Willem Francois Petrus (Spandidos Publications, 2006-01)
    Although flow cytometric DNA ploidy has turned out as a significant predictor of survival in oral squamous cell carcinoma, little is known about the underlying karyotypic structure of gross aneuploidy. We therefore analysed ...
