Argyrophilic Nucleolar Organizer Regions (AgNORs) and Degree of Malignancy in Adenocarcinomas of The Lung Less than 2.0cm in Size

Argyrophilic stain for nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) to assess proliferative activity and malignant intensity was used in 21 cases with resected adenocarcinomas of the lung less than 2.0cm in size. The mean number of AgNOR dots per nucleus (AgNOR count) of tumor cells was 5.60, of infiltratin...

Zusammenfassung:	Argyrophilic stain for nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) to assess proliferative activity and malignant intensity was used in 21 cases with resected adenocarcinomas of the lung less than 2.0cm in size. The mean number of AgNOR dots per nucleus (AgNOR count) of tumor cells was 5.60, of infiltrating lymphocytes of the lung, 1.06 and of bronchial epithelial cells, 2.70. The AgNOR count of tumor cells was significantly higher than that of normal cells (p
