Nuclear Morphometry in African Breast Cancer
Three hundred cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed between 1983 and 1999 in Calabar, Nigeria were analysed to determine the nuclear morphometric variables, and evaluate the prognostic potential of nuclear morphometry in Nigerian breast cancers. The necessary follow-up was available for 129 patients. The nuclear area was the most valuable variable. In the Nigerian material, the mean nuclear...
متن کاملNuclear morphometry in prognostication of breast cancer in Saudi Arabian patients: comparison with European and African breast cancer.
BACKGROUND The role of nuclear morphometry as a prognostic factor in breast cancer is well documented. The aim of this study was to evaluate this role in breast cancer in Saudi patients and to compare it with the experience in some African and European studies. PATIENTS AND METHODS Primary tumors from 135 patients were analyzed using an image overlay drawing system (Prodit Morphometry Program...
متن کاملCorrelation of nuclear morphometry of breast cancer in histological sections with clinicopathological features and prognosis.
BACKGROUND The relation of nuclear morphometry measurements with clinicopathological features was evaluated along with prognosis in invasive female breast carcinoma in Libyan patients. Data was compared with corresponding results on Finnish, and Nigerian female breast cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Histological samples from 131 patients of breast carcinoma were retrospectively studied ...
متن کاملRisk Biomarker Assessment for Breast Cancer Progression: Replication Precision of Nuclear Morphometry
Nuclear morphometry is a method for quantitative measurement of histopathologic changes in the appearance of stained cell nuclei. Numerous studies have indicated that these assessments may provide clinically relevant information related to the degree of progression and malignant potential of breast neoplasia. Nuclear features are derived from computerized analysis of digitized microscope images...
متن کاملCancer diagnosis by nuclear morphometry using spatial information
Methods for extracting quantitative information regarding nuclear morphology from histopathology images have been long used to aid pathologists in determining the degree of differentiation in numerous malignancies. Most methods currently in use, however, employ the naïve Bayes approach to classify a set of nuclear measurements extracted from one patient. Hence, the statistical dependency betwee...
