A method for determining the tumour cell content of breast neoplasms by morphometry is described.The mean total tumour cell volume of 10 scirrhous carcinomata was 287·6 mm(3), or 21·5% of the entire neoplasm. Two medullary lesions gave a mean tumour cell volume of 417 mm(3), 64·5% of the total volume of the neoplasm.A possible extension of this technique to monitor changes in the character of malignant tumours is discussed.
描述了一种通过形态测量法测定乳腺肿瘤中肿瘤细胞含量的方法。10例硬癌的平均肿瘤细胞总体积为287.6立方毫米，占整个肿瘤的21.5%。2例髓样病变的平均肿瘤细胞体积为417立方毫米，占肿瘤总体积的64.5%。讨论了将该技术扩展用于监测恶性肿瘤特征变化的可能性。
