Abstract
A method for determining the tumour cell content of breast neoplasms by morphometry is described.The mean total tumour cell volume of 10 scirrhous carcinomata was 287·6 mm(3), or 21·5% of the entire neoplasm. Two medullary lesions gave a mean tumour cell volume of 417 mm(3), 64·5% of the total volume of the neoplasm.A possible extension of this technique to monitor changes in the character of malignant tumours is discussed.Entities:
