title: Prognostic factors in mammary carcinoma.
abstract: The simultaneous prognostic influence of multiple clinical and microscopic features of mammary carcinoma was analysed in 581 women with radical mastectomy. The most important of these features were connected with the extent of the disease in the axillary lymph nodes. In substantial groups of patients, however, a favourable outcome could be predicted from microscopic features of the primary tumour, viz. tubule formation, mitotic frequency and elastosis.
