Abstract

Morphometry [nuclear Ki-67 labelling, mitotic activity index (MI), and volume-corrected mitotic index (M/V)] for periampullary cancers using tissue microarrays has not been performed previously. The purpose of the study was to assess these indices on tissue microarray (TMA) sections constructed from patients with periampullary cancers and study their association with clinicopathological variables.
