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
## Abstract The utility of argyrophilic stain for nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) for estimating proliferative activity and prognosis of softβtissue sarcomas (STS) was examined. Formalinβfixed and paraffinβembedded sections of 38 cases with STS were used; the reaction product of AgNOR stain was
## Abstract ## Background. Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs), which are loops of DNA containing ribosomal RNA genes, have been shown to correlate with cell proliferation and malignant transformation. The diagnostic value of silver staining NORs (AgNORs) in preneoplastic epithelia and nasopharynge
