XXXX @entity1 with different DNA ploidy.

@entity1 @entity5 @entity189
One hundred @entity1 operated for large bowel @entity189 were divided into a distinct aneuploid group of 63, and a near diploid one of 37. Flow cytometry was used for determination of the DNA ploidy pattern. All @entity5 in the aneuploid group contained one or more aneuploid cell populations. All @entity1 were followed clinically from 3.5 to 7.8 years. The corrected 5 year survival was 64% and 49% for @entity1 with near @entity5 , respectively (not significant). Significant differences in corrected survival time were not observed for Dukes' stages A, B, and C @entity1 pooled, nor for Dukes' stage D @entity1 . However, for Dukes' stage C @entity1 alone, there was a tendency (P = 0.10) for @entity1 with near @entity5 to show a better survival. A highly significant predominance of @entity5 was seen in males, in contrast to an equal distribution of aneuploid and near @entity5 in females. A slight predominance of @entity5 in the left colon and rectum was seen. Both these findings indicate the influence of environmental factors (hormonal, anatomical, phenotypical) on the development of @entity5 with a particular DNA ploidy pattern.
