[Immunocytochemical demonstration and morphometric study by image analysis of estrogen receptors in carcinoma of the breast: study of 30 cases].

Abstract

The method described associates on cytological preparations, immunocytochemical reaction, counter-staining, random and morphometrical study by image analysis. It permits the quantification of estrophilin in breast carcinoma and the estimation of the heterogeneity of the tumour staining.
