Abstract:
Nuclear morphometry was performed with the MOP-Videoplan morphometry device in 95 cases of renal adenocarcinoma submitted to radical nephrectomy and hilar lymphadenectomy with a 5-year follow-up. For each case, 100 nuclei were randomly selected and delineated (magnification: 1,000x). A statistically significant correlation (p less than 0.05) was observed for the nuclear area and the overall as well as stage-related survivorship. Using a nuclear size of 35 microns 2, the study population can be divided into two groups: those with a good and those with a poor prognosis regardless of stage. A statistically significant difference was observed for the overall as well as the stage-related survivorship for the group with a nuclear area less than 35 microns 2 (good prognosis) in comparison with the group with a nuclear area greater than 35 microns 2.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
