A reduction in AAA diameter of between 5 and 9 mm was categorized as moderate shrinkage, and a reduction of 10 mm or more as major shrinkage.
The distribution of centrilobular nodules (size less than 5 mm) was categorized as grade 1 (0–50 % of the segment), grade 2 (50–100 % of the segment), or grade 3 (100 % of the segment).
Tumor sizes were categorized to 1 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm,..., 100+ mm, as the background data revealed that many pathologists approximated tumor sizes to the nearest 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm,..., 100 mm (data not shown).
Mice with an average tumor volume of 45 mm after four weeks were categorized into two groups of seven.
This question referred to all MO-attacks, not exclusively MM-attacks, and responses were categorized as; fewer/less severe/shorter, no change, more frequent/more severe/longer duration.
Tumors were categorized as large (>2 mm), medium (1 2 mm), and small (<1 mm).
Among the 1,697 respondents who met inclusion criteria (Table 2), 5.5% (n = 93) were categorized as MM, 53.8% (n = 913) as MAM, and 40.7% (n = 691) as MUM using the criteria presented in Table 1.
Follicles were categorized as small (1 5 mm; pooled per ovary), medium (5 8 mm; individually collected), or large (8.1 17 mm; individually collected) based on surface diameter.
Data were categorized into four groups: 15 mm probe on the forearm (F15 mm), 25 mm probe on the forearm (F25 mm), 15 mm probe on the thenar (T15 mm), and 25 mm probe on the thenar (T25 mm).
Tumor deposits were categorized as isolated tumor cells (<0.2 mm), micrometastases (0.2 2 mm), or macrometastases (>2 mm).
