Prognostic indicators in breast cancer--morphometric methods.

abstract：AIMS:Although many immunohistochemical (IHC) cancer biomarkers have been identified, very few have translated into routine clinical practice, primarily because of technical and observational inconsistencies between studies. However, despite the obvious need to address such variability, very few studies have done so. M...
