Abstract
We determined the relationship of clonogenic in vitro growth and histopath-ologic features of 31 primary human breast tumors. Well-differentiated primary tumors formed fewer colonies than poorly differentiated tumors, and the clonogenic in vitro growth of tumors correlated inversely with patient survival. The potential of the clonogenic assay to serve as a predictor of disease course should be explored further.Keywords
