Histopathologypathological prognostic factors in breast cancer. I. The value of histological grade in breast cancer: experience from a large study with long‐term follow‐up
6,196 Citations1991C.W. Elston, Ian O. Ellis
The results demonstrate that this method for histological grading provides important prognostic information and, if the grading protocol is followed consistently, reproducible results can be obtained.
Breast Cancer Research and TreatmentThe Nottingham prognostic index in primary breast cancer
1,073 Citations1992Marcus Galea, Roger W. Blamey +2 more
The results of applying a prognostic index based on a retrospective analysis of 9 factors to all of the first 1,629 patients in a series of operable breast cancer up to the age of 70 are presented.

698 Citations2003Aron Goldhirsch, William C. Wood +4 more
This account of the highlights of the eighth St Gallen (Switzerland) meeting in 2003 emphasizes new information that has emerged during the 2 years since the seventh meeting in 2001, and highlights the separate nature of endocrine-nonresponsive breast cancer and the promise of newly defined prognostic and predictive markers.
CancerThe value of morphometry to classic prognosticators in breast cancer
336 Citations1985Jan P. A. Baak, Herman Van Dop +2 more
In 271 breast cancer patients with adequate follow‐up for at least 5.5 and maximally 12 years, the value of morphometry to classic prognosticators of breast cancer was assessed and it was found that mitotic activity index is the best single predictor of the prognosis.
HistopathologyPathological prognostic factors in breast cancer. III. Vascular invasion: relationship with recurrence and survival in a large study with long‐term follow‐up
284 Citations1994Sarah E. Pinder, Ian O. Ellis +4 more
Investigation of the invasion of vascular spaces by tumour in 1704 women with primary operable invasive breast carcinoma confirms that histological assessment of vascular invasion provides independent prognostic information in primaryOperable Breast carcinoma which may be helpful in making clinical decisions.
Breast Cancer Research and TreatmentThe Nottingham Prognostic Index applied to 9,149 patients from the studies of the Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group (DBCG)
200 Citations1994I. Balslev, C. K. Axelsson +4 more
The Nottingham Prognostic Index defined a subset of patients having so good prognosis that adjuvant therapy can be withhold, but it did not succeed in defining a subset with survival similar to the expected; additional prognostic factors are therefore needed.
Annals of SurgeryPredictors of Recurrence in Stage I (T1N0M0) Breast Carcinoma
183 Citations1981Paul Peter Rosen, Patricia E. Saigo +3 more
A ten-year follow-up study of 382 women with Stage I (T1N0M0) breast carcinoma revealed recurrence and/or death due to cancer in 16% of the patients, and the finding of tumor emboli in lymphatics of the breast was most strongly linked to recurrence.
European Journal of CancerPrognostic factors in breast cancer: the predictive value of the Nottingham Prognostic Index in patients with a long-term follow-up that were treated in a single institution
175 Citations2001G D'Eredità, C Giardina +3 more
The aim of this study was to verify, according to experience with a long-term follow-up, the effect of some prognostic variables on survival and to establish the independent influence of each by means of a survival regression analysis.
Breast Cancer Research and TreatmentApplying the Nottingham Prognostic Index to a Swedish breast cancer population
116 Citations1999M. Sundquist, Sten Thorstenson +2 more
Assessment of the applicability of histopathological grading according to the protocol of Elston/Ellis and the Nottingham Prognostic Index to a defined breast cancer population found similar prognostic power in spite of the differences of the patient populations from which the 2 indices were derived.
American Journal of Clinical PathologyPathologic Predictors of Recurrence in Stage 1 (TINOMO) Breast Cancer
96 Citations1982Daniel F. Roses, Debra A. Bell +4 more
Results for individual factors confirmed that only patients with lymphatic invasion were at higher risk of recurrence, and vascular invasion, grade of malignancy, cellularity, presence or absence of circumscription, cellular infiltrate, fibroblastic response, neural invasion, and necrosis were not significant predictors of Recurrence.
Breast Cancer Research and TreatmentValidation of existing and development of new prognostic classification schemes in node negative breast cancer
66 Citations1997Willi Sauerbrei, K. Hübner +2 more
The new proposals showed abetter degree of separation, which demonstrates that animprovement seems possible using standard factors, and a validation with other studies is necessary before a general recommendation can begiven.
CancerHow to improve the present TNM staging system
65 Citations1999P. Hermanek, Leslie H. Sobin +1 more
There now are sufficient data available to indicate the independent prognostic significance of additional nonanatomic variables in the TNM staging system, and the danger exists that TNM will be considered insufficient for clinical use because nonan atomic prognostic factors generally are not included in the staging system.
CancerBreast cancer without axillary metastases. Are there high-risk biologic subpopulations?
51 Citations1982Henry F. Sears, Catherine Janus +4 more
Tumor involvement of the lymphatic vessels within the breast and estrogen receptor protein positivity or negativity were not helpful for identifying a subpopulation at increased risk of recurrence, but large tumor size was not a poor prognostic indicator for a patient subpopulation.
British Journal of CancerA prognostic score in histological node negative breast cancer
46 Citations1990B Chevallier, Véronique Mosseri +4 more
Multifactorial analysis revealed that DFS was significantly related to age (bad prognosis (b.p.) less than or equal to 37 years old), tumour size and histological grading, and that OS was significant related to tumours size and PR (b-p. PR less than and equal to 5 fmol mg-1 protein).
British journal of surgeryPrognostic factors in breast cancer and the development of a prognostic index
38 Citations1986Robert M. Bryan, Ronald J. Mercer +2 more
When tumour size, menopausal status and AR did not significantly improve prediction of survival, a prognostic index capable of predicting survival was constructed corresponding to groups of patients with widely differing prognoses.
British journal of surgeryEvaluation of the prognostic value of triple node biopsy in early breast cancer
31 Citations1990R S Du Toit, A P Locker +3 more
Results show that tumour site within the breast influenced which nodal groups were involved and the low axillary node contributed the most useful prognostic information.
Breast Cancer Research and TreatmentThe prognostic contribution of estrogen and progesterone receptor status to a modified version of the Nottingham Prognostic Index
26 Citations1998Karin Collett, Rolv Skjærven +1 more
Test of prognostic contribution of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PgR) receptor status to an index consisting of the number of positive lymph nodes, the mean nuclear area of the breast cancer cells, and tumour diameter indicates biological differences in subgroups as defined by the index.
CancerPrognostic factors observed in current clinical trials
18 Citations1993F. Andrew Dorr
The delineation of risk, such that the risks of treatment can be closely tied to the risk of recurrence is thus a desirable goal for clinical‐laboratory research.
