A comparative study was performed of interphase in situ hybridization (ISH) to deparaffinized 4-microns tissue sections and nuclear suspensions from eight prostatic adenocarcinomas, as well as one normal prostatic control. Whole nuclear suspensions were derived from the same tumor areas to evaluate differences of ISH to truncated versus whole nuclei. DNA probes specific for the centromeres of chromosome 1, 7, 8, 10, and Y were used for detection of numerical chromosomal changes and aneuploidy. In six adenocarcinomas chromosome aberrations (+7, +8, -8, -10, -Y) were seen. However, ISH to sections revealed focal aberrations (-10, -Y) in four cases that could not be distinguished in the suspensions. Chromosomal alterations occurring in larger tumor areas were also detected in the nuclear suspensions. Chromosome copy number changes, especially gains, were better discriminated in the nuclear suspensions. The rate of ISH aneuploidy seen in nuclear suspensions corresponded with that observed in the tissue sections (P &lt; 0.01). Ploidy patterns as assessed by ISH to sections and nuclear suspensions were in concordance with DNA flow cytometry (both P &lt; 0.001). We conclude that both section and suspension ISH were able to accurately detect aneuploidy and numerical chromosomal aberrations occurring in larger histological areas. However, section ISH was also capable of revealing (small) focal cytogenetic abnormalities, due to a precise analysis of only target cells. Focal abnormalities were not detected by suspension ISH, probably due to an admixture of non-aberrant tumor cells and stromal elements.
