[Aneuploid case was observed in 12 of observed 25 (48%) cases without lymph node metastasis, while it was observed in 16 of 17 cases (94.1%) with lymph node metastasis and there was significant association between DNA ploidy pattern and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01) and most of the cases (17/20, 85%) were aneuploidy in Dukes C and D. The results above suggest that the expression of c-erbB-2 protein or EGFR was associated with distant metastasis, while on the other hand DNA ploidy pattern was correlated with lymph node metastasis.].
