[The value of nuclear morphometry in analysing heterogeneity of grade-II colorectal adenocarcinomas].
A nuclear morphometric analysis was performed on the histologic sections of 39 grade-II, 17 grade-I and 8 grade-II colorectal adenocarcinomas. The parameters selected were nuclear area, nuclear perimeter, nuclear volume and standard deviation of nuclear area. The results showed that grade-II colorectal adenocarcinomas were a group of heterogeneous tumours and they could be divided into various subgroups by nuclear morphometry so that their biological behaviour could be better reflected.
