Popis: Immunohistochemistry findings for the phosphorylated form of histone 3 (pHH3) have been shown to be a reliable mitosis-specific marker. We evaluated the correlation between pHH3-stained mitotic figures (PHMFs) and clinical outcome, and compared the results with findings for numbers of PHMFs and cancer cells. The primary tumor was obtained from 113 patients with pulmonary adenocarcinomas (≤2 cm maximum dimension). All specimens were stained with pHH3, then the number of cancer cells in each was determined. Cases with a cancer-cell index ≥1000 showed worse recurrence-free survival as compared to those with a value
