Postersitzung 7: Urologische Tumoren — Grundlagenforschung
Nach Ureterosigmoidostomie (UST) wurde bis 1986 uber 79 im Anastomosenbereich entstandene Adenocarcinome berichtet. Zwei entsprechende Carcinome sind im Colon-Conduit, vier im Ileum-Conduit beschrieben [6, 10]. Die Carcinomentstehung, insbesondere nach Ureterosigmoidostomie, wird meist auf eine durch gemeinsame Ableitung von Stuhl und Urin induzierte endogene Nitrosaminsynthese im Darm zuruckgefuhrt [9]. Crissey [3, 4] beschrieb 1980 in einem von ihm inaugurierten Rattenmodell in 66% eine Carcinomentstehung bei gemeinsamer Ableitung von Urin und Stuhl im Darm. Die Latenzzeit betrug 8–11 Monate. Bei Gittes [5] entstanden bei der Weiterfuhrung dieses Modells in 80% Carcinome nach 8–12 Monaten…
DNA Histogram of Invasive Bladder Carcinoma: Comparison of Flow Cytometry and Automated Image Analysis
Invasive bladder carcinoma is characterized by a considerable interindividual heterogeneity. The natural course of the disease as well as sensitivity of the tumors to various treatment modalities are thus unpredictable. Searching for more accurate characteristics of tumor biology than those presently available, the DNA histograms of 65 paraffin-preserved bladder carcinomas from cystectomy specimens were analyzed. Flow cytometry and automated image analysis, two competing methods, were compared.
Automated DNA-image cytometry: a prognostic tool in infiltrating bladder carcinoma?
In a retrospective study, paraffin-embedded cystectomy specimens obtained from 46 patients with bladder cancer (stage pT1 — pT4a, pN0, pN2) were analysed for tumor DNA ploidy and proliferation using automated image cytometry (LEYTAS). In 41 cases, DNA ploidy could be measured. Estimation of proliferation was possible in 26 tumors. The number of cells with a DNA content higher than 5C could be calculated in 38 of the tumors. All these three parameters are shown to correlate with patient outcome.
