Morphometric grading of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas.
The authors have used the point counting method for the morphometric assessment of the histological aspect of laryngeal carcinoma. The results suggest that subjective histopathological grading tends to overestimate the tumor grade. The implications of these data for the prediction of prognosis and selection of therapy are briefly discussed.
