Centrioles of a Human Cancer: Intercellular Order and Intracellular Disorder

Paul W. Schafer 1

1 Veterans Administration Hospital, Washington, D.C. 20422

A continuous, symmetric, and periodic pattern of long-range spatial order has been observed among the centrioles of both normal and neoplastic cells. Consecutive ultrathin sections of lethal human esophageal cancers have revealed a defect in the centriolar angle with random angularity and random, long, intercentriolar distances.
