[The labelling index as a prognostic marker in breast carcinoma]

Abstract

In this work assess the labelling index in sixty patients affected by breast cancer and treated with only local surgical therapy, without subsequent chemo- or radiotherapy. We had considered L.I. a single prognostic factor and in relation with other common prognostic factors of this neoplasia. The patients with a high L.I. have shown a greater probability of relapses, also in absence of lymph nodal metastases.
