PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF AgNOR COUNTS IN ADENOCARCINOMA OF LARGE INTESTIN

This paper analyses AgNOR Counts in 44 cases of adenocarcinoma of large intestin. The meannumber of nucleolar organizer regions pernecleus of patients with survived for more than 5 yearsare strikingly lower than those patients with survived for less than 5 years (P0. 005) AgNORCounts are the chief determinant of prognosis, and it is an important prognostic indicator for patients carcinoma.
