What is the ploidy level?

Answer 1

Definition Ploidy analysis is a test that measures the amount of DNA in tumor cells. It is also called DNA ploidy analysis. Purpose DNA ploidy analysis is used in addition to the traditional grading system as another way to evaluate how malignant a tumor might be. The advantage of this test is that it provides a numeric, and therefore objective, evaluation of how aggressive the cancer might be. Because this test was relatively new in 2001, and the significance of information gained by this test was not completely understood, this test had not yet replaced traditional systems of tumor grading. It would be used only to supplement those tests in order to give the doctor as much information about the nature of the tumor as possible. Doctors may also use this test to help predict how a tumor may respond to the planned therapy.
