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.

Clinical follow-up data of 276 colorectal adenocarcinoma patients treated in Kuopio University Hospital between 1976 and 1986 and followed up for a mean of 14 years were analysed. The clinical findings were correlated with tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and with histological and quantitative
## Abstract The risk of developing recurrent tumour was assessed in a group of 85 patients with primary colorectal cancer who had a negative intraoperative ultrasonographic examination at the time of primary tumour resection. At a median follow-up of 40 months liver metastases had developed in 14 p

Overall peritumoural inflammatory cell infiltration is a prognostic variable in solid tumours, but the survival-related impact of the individual cell types within the infiltrate has still not been fully evaluated and compared with the conventional disease classification. In the present study, the pr
