Diagnostic tools and prognostic factors in human breast cancer evaluated by morphological and immunohistochemical methods

  • Chapter
Breast Cancer: Biological and Clinical Progress

Part of the book series: Developments in Oncology ((DION,volume 69))

Abstract

With regard to the clinical management of breast cancer besides the radiological (mammography and magnetic resonance), ultrasound and galactographic image processing systems we need safe and fast-working, histopathological and immunohistochemical methods to make in uncertain cases the diagnosis sure and to obtain well defined informations with respect to the individual biological behaviour of every single cancer to be treated under optimal conditions according to the specific personal situation (Fig.l).

With Support of the German Ministry for Research and Technology and ICI-Pharma.
