Canceration information providing method and canceration information providing device

A canceration information providing device for providing information related to canceration of cells, the device comprising:

• a first detection unit for acquiring information related to number of normal cells which are contained in a specimen including cells collected from an epidermal tissue and present on a surface layer side than at least basal cells in the epidermal tissue;
• a specimen preparing unit for preparing a measurement specimen in which the normal cells present on the surface layer side than at least the basal cells in the epidermal tissue is contained by a target number based on the information related to the number of normal cells acquired by the first detection unit;
• and
• a controller configured for performing operations comprising:
• acquiring data related to an amount of DNA of the cell contained in the measurement specimen prepared by the specimen preparing unit;
• acquiring number of first cells, each of which having an amount of DNA exceeding the amount of DNA of a normal cell in which a cell cycle is in a G0 period or a G1 period based on the acquired data related to the amount of DNA;
• and
• outputting information related to canceration of the cells based on the obtained number.

• preparing a measurement specimen in which the normal cells present on the surface layer side than at least the basal cells in the epidermal tissue is contained by a target number based on the information related to the acquired number of cells;
• acquiring data related to a ratio of a size of a cell nucleus with respect to a size of a cell for cells contained in the prepared measurement specimen;
• acquiring number of cells within a defined range defining a range in which the ratio is greater than or equal to a predetermined value based on the acquired data;
• and
• outputting information related to canceration of the cells based on the number of cells acquired in the acquiring step.
