It has been observed that cells often respond to carcinogens by nuclear enlargement. For this reason, new morphometric approaches have been developed to evaluate cell modifications in pre-carcinogenesis assays. Morphometric computerised automatic analysis, with original software, was performed on HeLa cells treated with various compounds (hydroxyurea, dimethylnitrosamine, N-methyl-N'-nitro-nitrosoguanidine and cyclophosphamide) to evaluate nuclear size changes.
