Abstract: Abstract-Mitosis counting remains one of the most valuable prognostic indicators in tumour pathology. The aim of this study was to assess the proliferative activity of primary prostate cancer and lymph node metastases using the volume-corrected mitotic index (M/V). Mitotic figures were quantitated as number of mitotic figures/mm2 of neoplastic epithelium in a series of 40 prostatic adenocarcinomas, and the results were related to clinical and histological features of the primary tumours. High-grade tumours showed higher mitosis counts than intermediate-grade tumours, and metastasis was related to mitotic indeces as well. The proliferative activity was significantly higher in lymph node metastasis than in primary tumours. The mitotic index did not correlate significantly with any clinical or histological feature of the primary tumours. However, the results show that mitotic index (M/V) can be considered an useful, quick, and efficient factor in evaluation of maligna!
nt tumor prolife rative activity, and could be an useful prognostic parameter in prostatic adenocarcinomas.
Keywords: Mitotic count, progression, proliferation, prostatic adenocarcinoma, volume-corrected mitotic index.
