A flow cytometry analysis in children and adolescents with osteosarcoma was carried out. Investigation concerned 32 fresh surgical specimens (from patients after preoperative chemotherapy) and 18 paraffin-embedded tumour tissues (archive material). The correlation of aneuploidy population parameters to malignancy grading acc. to WHO (GI-GIII) and MSC histopathological classification, was investigated. It was shown that all specimens with aneuploid populations correlated with the histophatological diagnosis of osteosarcoma. Thus cytometry analysis can be a useful and rapid complementary method to conventional histophtatological diagnosis. On the contrary, no correlation was found between the aneuploid parameters and the low grade and high-grade osteosarcoma acc. to WHO and MSC classification. The Multicycle computer system is useful in retrospective analysis of paraffin-embedded tumour tissues. It is suggested that for this kind of investigation fresh diagnostic specimens (before preoperative chemotherapy) would be more adequate.

The diagnostic landscape of brain tumors integrates comprehensive molecular markers alongside traditional histopathological evaluation. DNA methylation and next-generation sequencing (NGS) have become a cornerstone in central nervous system (CNS) tumor classification. A limiting requirement for NGS and methylation profiling is sufficient DNA quality and quantity, which restrict its feasibility.

Endometrial cancer, termed uterine cancer, seriously affects female reproductive organs, and the analysis of histopathological images formed a golden standard for diagnosing this cancer. Sometimes, early detection of this disease is difficult because of the limited capability of modeling complicated relationships among histopathological images and their interpretations. Moreover, many previous methods do not effectively handle the cell appearance variations.
