Computerized nuclear morphometry (CNM) has been compared with the standard histopathologic grading of squamous cell carcinoma in patients who have undergone chemotherapy for head and neck cancers. Statistics were significant between the histopathologic and CNM readings that were done. CNM represents an objective method of quantitating the histopathologic readings of nuclear pheomorphism and cancer differentiation to allow these criteria to be used as prognostic indicators in squamous cancers. CNM readings of individual biopsy specimens from patients were shown to characterize each tumor. This may represent a cytopathologic method for tracking a cancer through whatever course of therapy is given.
