Cytokines and growth factors are powerful modulators of the immune response. Their aberrant expression either by the tumor cells or by the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes confers a selective advantage to the tumor to grow and suppress the cytotoxic activity of the infiltrating lymphocytes. Therefore,

Background and Objectives: Argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) have been recently identified as a marker of proliferative index in various tumors. These were evaluated in 46 patients with primary breast carcinoma and were correlated with clinical prognostic parameters of breast cancer.
I n this issue of Cancer, Dr. Roberti reviews the role of histologic grade in the prognosis of breast carcinoma and wonders why, because it is available, it has not been widely used in predicting outcome. The position of this editorial is that there must be some fundamental reason, after 100 years
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The goal of the current study was to investigate the prognostic impact of proliferative activity, together with the other classic clinicopathologic prognostic factors (tumor size, tumor grade, receptor status, ploidy, and lymph node status), in breast carcinoma by countin
