Histologic correlates of virulence in ovarian adenocarcinoma. II. Morphologic correlates of host response

The degree of lymphocyte infiltration in the tumor was not related to histologic or cytologic tumor differentiation. However, the degree of lymphocyte infiltration was related to improved survival.
