A TS score was calculated by multiplying the intensity and extent of grades.
All of the other variables (age, extent of disease, grade, receptor status) were similarly distributed in the two arms.
MR imaging is suitable for determining tumor extent including muscle, joint and neurovascular bundle involvement (Fig. 1), and is particularly useful in defining the extent of high grade tumors.
As only women with high grade abnormal cytology were referred to colposcopy and considering the low sensitivity of cytology in detecting CIN3+ [ 25], the true extent of high grade CIN in the Pap I/II and IIw categories remains unknown.
Key parameters describing these geometries included the relative lengths of the sub- and super-structures, the fraction of mass shared between the sub- and super-structures, the co-ordination number of the honeycomb cells, the form and extent of functional grading, and the Poisson's ratio of the sub-structure.
The anchor appears to be the least satisfactory for the attribute "overall quality," suggesting that the subjects used the full extent of the grading scale.
Studies have suggested that magnification views can aid the prediction of extent of low-grade DCIS (Asjoe et al, 2007; Di Saverio et al, 2008).
Magnetic resonance imaging is particularly useful for defining the extent of high-grade tumors, including transcortical and intertrabecular infiltration and periosteal extension.
Extent of vascularisation was graded as grade 1 when more than 50% avascular synovial proliferation could be seen than in active synovitis, and as grade 2 when more than 50% of synovitis appeared to be vascularized.
In addition, we carried out a case-only analysis comparing glucocorticoid users to non-users according to subgroups defined by the extent of disease (low grade non-invasive, high grade non-invasive, invasive or carcinoma in situ) and TP53 staining intensity (<3 or 3+) to examine whether glucocorticoid use was associated with tumour aggressiveness.
