Heterogeneity and reproducibility of microvessel counts in breast cancer.
Abstract
Microvessel counting has proven to be of prognostic value in breast cancer, as shown in different retrospective studies. However, methodology has not been studied widely, and this must be done before the method can become clinically applicable. The aim of this study was to determine the degree of heterogeneity and reproducibility of microvessel counts (MC) in breast cancer.
