Biological characteristics of HCC by ultrasound-guided aspiration biopsy and its clinical application

Figure 1 DNA analysis of aspiration biospy tissues acquired from intrahepatic benign hyperplastic nodules showed steady diploid (2C) peak that stayed in G₁ period (single red peak).

Figure 2 DNA analysis of aspiration biopsy tissues acquired from HCC nodules showed S period of hyperproliferation (the peak with oblique lines) and G₂/M period (the second red peak).

Figure 3 DNA analysis of HCC nodules showed aneuploid (AN) peak (the orange peak).

Figure 4 DNA a na lysis of HCC nodules showed hyperproliferation state before therapy (left) and apoptosis peak after therapy (the blue peak).

Figure 5 The same cases as those in figure. 4 appeared typical apoptosis cells and apoptosis bodies after therapy.
