Growth rate of lung metastases and S-phase fraction as determined by flow cytometry from the primary tumour in 25 patients with bone or soft-tissue sarcomas

British Journal of Cancer volume 73, pages 1556–1559 (1996)Cite this article

Abstract

A significant correlation (r = -0.48) was found between the logarithm of the S-phase fraction of the primary tumour (SPF) and the logarithm of the doubling time of lung metastases (T2). The estimated median cell loss factor was 88% (range 35-99%).
