Cellular DNA content as a marker of neoplasia in man.

TLDR
It is concluded that flow cytometry of cellular DNA content is a rapid, objective, quantitative and sensitive method to determine a highly specific and stable tumor cell marker.

The 5-methylcytosine content of DNA from human tumors

TL;DR: Most of the metastatic neoplasms had significantly lower genomic m5C contents than did most of the benign neoplasm or normal tissues, which might reflect an involvement of extensive demethylation of DNA in tumor progression.

Flow Cytometry in Clinical Cancer Research

TL;DR: A role for flow cytometry is emerging as a tool for diagnosis of cancer (abnormal DNA content), specific histopathological diagnosis (RNA for hematological cancers; surface markers for lymphoid and myeloid neoplasms), prognosis, and treatment (cytokinetically oriented, monoclonal antibodies, drug pharmacology).

Centrosome Defects and Genetic Instability in Malignant Tumors

TL;DR: Centrosomes in nearly all tumors and tumor-derived cell lines were atypical in shape, size, and composition and were often present in multiple copies, suggesting they may contribute to genetic instability in cancer.

Cellular DNA content as a predictor of response to chemotherapy in infants with unresectable neuroblastoma

TL;DR: It is concluded that in neuroblastoma of infants, hyperdiploidy of tumor cells is associated with a better response to chemotherapy than is diploidsy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical and biological significance of aneuploidy in human tumours.

TL;DR: The accumulating evidence that tumour ploidy reflects the biological behaviour of a large number of tumour types and that diploid tumours in particular have a relatively good prognosis is reviewed.

Pattern classification and scene analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a unified, comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of both statistical and descriptive methods for pattern recognition is provided, including Bayesian decision theory, supervised and unsupervised learning, nonparametric techniques, discriminant analysis, clustering, preprosessing of pictorial data, spatial filtering, shape description techniques, perspective transformations, projective invariants, linguistic procedures, and artificial intelligence techniques for scene analysis.

A clustering technique for summarizing multivariate data.

TL;DR: A practical computing method termed ISODATA, which finds the cluster structure of such data, is described and provides a fit to the data of a set of cluster centers that tends to minimize the sum of the squared distances of each data point from its closest cluster center.
