RESUMO

A determinação do conteúdo em ADN das células neoplásicas do carcinoma do pulmão, utilizando a citometria de fluxo (CF), tern tido resultados díspares em investigaçães aparentemente semelhantes. Estas diferenças têrn sido atribuidas a erros, relacionadas tanto com o procedimento em si, como com o método de colheita das amostras.

Assim, as dificuldades na colheita de material avaliável para citometria de fluxo e a heterogeneidade das amostras processadas poderiam contribuir para uma menor fiabilidade dos resultados.

Neste estudo foi determinado o conteúdo em ADN por citometria de fluxo (CF) em 93 doentes tendo sido possível efectuar duas medições do conteúdo em ADN em 47 dos 93 doentes. Em 24 casos, foi possível processor por CF duas vezcs a mesma amostra e em 23 processar duas amostras diferentes, do mesmo tumor, colhidas na mesma altura.

Avaliou-se a concordância das medições e a reprodutibilidade do método nas duas situaçõs. Foi ainda calculada a dispersão dos valores obtidos para cada parâmetro.

Verificou-se uma excelente concordância e reprodutibilidade nas medições efectuadas em ambos os grupos. No grupo em que foram avaliadas amostras diferentes, a variação não foi de forma a alterar significativamente o cálculo do indice de ADN.

Concluiu-se que as metodologias de amostragem e de processamento foram fiáveis. A utllização de amostras de pequenas dimensões para CF é fiável. É possivel determinar o conteúdo em ADN em doentes não cirúrgicos, utilizando pequenas amostras o que permitirá expandir estes e outros parâmetros biológicos a doentes em que podem ter um significado ainda mais importante tanto na orientação global como no prognóstico.

ABSTRACT

The determination of the DNA content of the lung cancer cells using flow cytometry has had inconsistent results depending the investigation in spite of the apparent similarity of the procedures. These anecdotal results had been attributed to the errors related with the procedure itself and with the sampling methodology. The difficulties to obtain evaluable specimens for flow cytometry and the heterogeneity of the samples could contribute to the low reliability of the results.

In this study the DNA content was determined by flow cytometry in 93 patients. In 47 out of 93 patients was possible to do two flow cytometric determinations of the same tumor sample. In 23 out of 47 patients were processed two different samples obtained at the same time of the same tumor. The agreement of the flow cytometric determinations and the reproducibility and reliability of the methodology were evaluated. Additionally was estimated the distribution of the each evaluation performed. We found an excellent agreement and reproducibility of the evaluations in each group. In every groups we didn’t found significant variation in order to induce changes in DNA indices.

We concluded that the sampling and flow cytometry methodologies were reliable and reproducible. Using this methodology will be possible to determine DNA content and others DNA evaluations contributing to the management and global prognosis of the great majority of lung cancer patients.
