title: Soft agar clonogenic assay in human breast cancer.
abstract: Relationship between histology, cloning efficiencies and estrogen receptors was studied in the group of breast cancer patient. Mechanical disaggregation gave poor cellular yields since only in 66% cells were ready for the bioassay. Comparison between clonogenic assay, histology and estrogen status of human breast cancer is of a limited value only, because of a small number of patients in our study.
