Background: The quantity of nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) appear to be prognostic significant in several tumor types. Methods: Sections from 93 routinely processed pretreatment biopsies from patients with glottic carcinomas were stained by silver nitrate and evaluated by two counting methods

The prognostic value of nuclear DNA content and argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions ( AgNOR) is still controversial in colorectal cancer. Sixty patients with colorectal cancer were studied by flow cytometric DNA analysis and AgNOR measurement, and their prognostic significance was tested. DNA i
Background. Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) are loops of ribosomal DNA that occur in nucleoli and that transcribe to ribosomal RNA. NORs have been identified by means of the Ag-NOR technique in routinely processed tissues, and were found to be of discriminative value between some types of benign
Background. Nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) are associated with proliferative activity and ploidy in many tumors. The endocervical growth pattern of cervical adenocarcinoma renders tumor volume assessment more difficult, necessitating additional prognostic indicators. Methods. Thirty-five case
It has been suggested that the number of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) correlates with cellular activity and the aggressiveness of malignancy. The mean number of AgNORs per nucleus may, therefore, be a prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of this stud
