The authors determined the desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content of 45 small-cell lung cancers, by flow-cytometry (FC), from bronchial brushings to asses the prognostic meaning of the DNA index, the percentage of cells in DNA synthesis phase (% S) and the ploidy. Moreover, the value of this tumorous cells brushing was assessed for Flow-cytometric analysis. Bronchial brushing offers some advantages opposite to biopsies, but the low quantity of collected cells reduces the number of tumors analysable by FC. The output is low (39%) for determination of DNA index, and moreover low (22%) for determination of % S. In regard to the flow-cytometry analysis, the DNA content does not show any significant difference of survival where as the % S is related to survival, but it seems to be paradoxical in this study. Indeed, patients with small-cell lung cancer associated to high cells' percentage in DNA synthesis phase have the longest survival.
