B Diagnosis of benign neoplasms

(C) CORRECT. Flow cytometry can detect the degree of aneuploidy from the DNA content. Aneuploidy implies that the neoplasm is worse than if it were not aneuploid.
(A) Incorrect. Flow cytometry does not distinguish individual chromosomes or count them.
(B) Incorrect. Flow cytometry cannot be used to distinguish a benign from a malignant neoplasm.
(D) Incorrect. Flow cytometry cannot distinguish the cell of origin of neoplasms.
(E) Incorrect. Flow cytometry is used to measure DNA content.
