Are stereological estimates of the nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio and star volume on fibreoptic biopsies of prognostic value for survival in a preliminary study of advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the lung?
Our results indicate that histopathological data may help to predict prognosis in patients with advanced squamous cell lung carcinoma, and encourage the use of morphometric procedures in histopathological analysis of this type of lung tumour.
BMI was associated with AG, as diagnosed by PGs, but not with HP infection status. These results mean that HP infection affects BMI via atrophic gastritis.
