From: Mitotic figure counts are significantly overestimated in resection specimens of invasive breast carcinomas

Figure 1

Mitotic figure counts in breast cancer biopsy material and resection specimen. Each line represents one of 52 invasive ductal carcinomas. Shown are mean values ±s.e.m. Data are shown without (left panels) and with correction for the tumor/stroma ratio (right panel). Note that with only a few exceptions, the numbers of mitotic figures were significantly higher in resection specimen when compared with the respective biopsy material. P<0.01 (paired t-test).
