Abstract
Provided is a canceration information providing method capable of presenting information related to canceration of cells with high reliability. A cell in which an amount of DNA is greater than or equal to an amount of DNA of a normal cell in a S period is extracted from a cell group of V11≦N/C ratio≦V12 (first counting step). If a number of cells obtained in the first counting step is greater than or equal to a threshold value S1 (S107: YES), “Cancer” is set to a flag 1. A cell in which an amount of DNA is 2C is extracted from a cell group of V13≦N/C ratio<V11 (second counting step). A ratio of a number of cells obtained in the first counting step and a number of cells obtained in the second counting step is calculated, and “Cancer” is set to a flag 2 if the ratio is greater than or equal to a threshold value S2 (S111: YES). If either one of the flags 1, 2 is “Cancer” (S113: YES), retest necessary is displayed.
