We report our experience on the treatment of carcinoma in situ (CIS) using intravesical therapy with the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). From November 1992 to September 1994, 18 patients received treatment: 6 had associated CIS and 12 secondary CIS. Ploidy of each tumour was determined by flow cytometry. Aneuploidy was found in 12 cases, diploidy in 6 cases. After treatment, a standard bladder mapping was performed: 14 patients showed no evidence of cystoscopic and histological disease and if previously aneuploid, became diploid. 4 patients has recurrent disease after therapy; they were all aneuploid before treatment. One of these showed a persistent aneuploidy, although both voided urinary cytology and histological samples were negative. Six months later, a recurrent CIS was seen at the time of cystoscopy. These results enhance the interest in flow cytometry as a possible predictor of response to BCG in the treatment of CIS.

Abstract Background : A majority of breast cancers (BC) are age-related and we seek to determine what cellular and molecular changes occur in breast tissue with age that make women more susceptible to cancer initiation. Immune-epithelial cell interactions are important during mammary gland development and the immune system plays an important role in BC progression. The composition of human immune cell populations is known to change in peripheral blood with age and in breast tissue during BC progression. Less is known about changes in immune populations in normal breast tissue and how their interactions with mammary epithelia change with age. Methods : We quantified densities of T cells, B cells, and macrophage subsets in pathologically normal breast tissue from 122 different women who ranged in age from 24 to 74 years old. Donor-matched peripheral blood from a subset of 20 donors was analyzed by flow cytometry. Tissue immune cell densities and localizations relative to the epithelium were quantified in situ with machine learning-based analyses of multiplex immunohistochemistry-stained tissue sections. In situ results were corroborated with flow cytometry analyses of peri-epithelial immune cells from primary organoid preparations and transcriptome analyses of public data from bulk tissue reduction mammoplasties. Results : Proportions of immune cell subsets in breast tissue and donor-matched peripheral blood were not correlated. Density (cells/mm 2 ) of T and B lymphocytes in situ decreased with age. T cells and macrophages preferentially localized near or within epithelial bilayers, rather than the intralobular stroma. M2:M1 macrophage ratio increased with age and was accompanied by an increased density of M2 in the intralobular stroma. Transcriptional signature analyses suggested age-dependent decline in adaptive immune cell populations and functions and increased innate immune cell activity. Conclusions : T cells and macrophages are so intimately associated with the epithelia that they are embedded within the bilayer, suggesting an important role for immune-epithelial cell interactions. Age-associated decreased T cell density in peri-epithelial regions, and increased M2 macrophage density in intralobular stroma suggests the emergence of a tissue microenvironment that is simultaneously immune-senescent and immunosuppressive with age .

Abstract Flow cytometric 1-parameter DNA analysis and 2-parameter DNA /protein analysis have been performed with cell material of the diptera species Chironomus thummi, Drosophila melanogaster, Calliphora vicina and Musca domestica using an impulse cytophotometer with a new quartz objective, that was especially manufactured for cytofluorometric investigations. The occurrence of heterogenous cell populations with aneuploid and polyploid DNA content within the cell material of different developmental stages of diptera species have been determined, whereby in larvae polyploid cell populations and in imagos aneuploid cell populations predominate. Partially separation of 2C cells from other cell populations with higher DNA content can be done by Ficoll-Hypaque centrifugation as demonstrated with cell material from Chironomus larvae. For flow cytometric DNA analysis of insect cell material a simple and rapid cell preparation and staining technique is presented by using the DNA-specific fluorochrome DAPI in combination with the protein fluorochrome sulforhodamine 101. Employment of flow cytometry in diptera genetics might be a new tool for cytological and cytogenetic investigations as shown with the classical genetic objects Chironomus and Drosophila

Patientinnen mit duktalem Carcinoma in situ (DCIS) müssen nicht mastektomiert werden; sie haben auch nach brusterhaltender Operation ein günstiges Outcome. Eine weitere Prognoseverbesserung wird durch Nachbestrahlung und adjuvante Tamoxifen-Gabe erreicht.
