Cell kinetic parameters were determined in 32 patients with breast cancer following intravenous [3H]thymidine injection. The mean labelling index (LI) was 8.6, range 1.2 to 24.1. The LI increased significantly with increased stage of disease. The highest values were noted in patients with chest wall

## Abstract The growth regulation of human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) cultured in a growth factor/hormoneβenriched (e.g. EGF, insulin) medium with bovine pituitary extract as the only undefined supplement was studied. The doubling times of the cultures, in which the cells appear in colonies, w
The process of cancer invasion and metastasis comprises a complex series of sequential steps. The initial step is the dissociation of cancer cells from the primary tumour through the breakdown of the cell adhesion system which includes integrins, selectins, CD44 and the cadherin families of molecule
