In 50 cases of infiltrating breast cancer investigated in a prospective study the number of macrophages within each tumour was assessed. The macrophages were identified by their cytoplasmic acid phosphatase activity. The number of lymphocytes and plasma cells within the tumours were graded by a scoring technique. Significantly fewer cases with metastases were found among those with high macrophage and plasma cell scores. There was no correlation between lymphoreticular infiltration and the degree of tumour differentiation, but in cases without metastases the lymphoreticular infiltration between tumour cells was nearly always only slight when the macrophage score was low.
在一项前瞻性研究中,对50例浸润性乳腺癌患者进行了调查,评估了每个肿瘤内巨噬细胞的数量。巨噬细胞通过其细胞质酸性磷酸酶活性来识别。肿瘤内淋巴细胞和浆细胞的数量通过评分技术进行分级。在巨噬细胞和浆细胞评分高的患者中,发生转移的病例明显较少。淋巴网状浸润与肿瘤分化程度之间没有相关性,但在无转移的病例中,当巨噬细胞评分较低时,肿瘤细胞之间的淋巴网状浸润几乎总是很轻微。
