| Research Abstract |
Flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle fractions and DNA ploidy was performed on 39 biopsy specimens of oral leukoplakia. The aneuploidy rate of these leukoplakias was 9/39 (23%) and the mean DNA index of the aneuploid lesions was 1.34. The aneuploidy rate was significantly higher in severely dysplastic lesions (8/17) than in mildly dysplastic (1/15, p<0.02) and non-dysplastic (0/7, p<0.05) lesions. No significant differences in the percentages of each cell cycle fraction were seen between the diploid and the aneuploid leukoplakias. However, the S phase fraction of the severely dysplastic lesions (23.0%) among the diploid leukoplakias was higher than those of the mildly dysplastic (12.4%) and the non-dysplastic (15.5%) lesions, and the difference between the severely dysplastic and the mildly dysplastic lesions was statistically significant (p<0.001). These results suggest that flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle fractions and DNA ploidy might offer additional information for assessing the malignant potential of oral leukoplakias.
