Inter-laboratory comparison of Ki-67 proliferating index detected by visual assessment and automated digital image analysis.

CONCLUSION: Proliferation remains one of the most important parameters for tumor characterization helpful in making clinical decisions, but it should be used with great caution. Standardization of the Ki-67 assessment is essential and proliferating index should be expressed as exact numeric value. For patients with proliferative index near the cut-off value, other factors must be considered in making clinical decisions. PMID: 30958325 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
