From: Enrichment methods to detect bone marrow micrometastases in breast carcinoma patients: clinical relevance

Figure 1

Prognostic significance of the immunomagnetic (IM) detection of bone marrow (BM) micrometastases in patients. The number of MOC31-positive cells detected was compared in 46 control patients (group1), and in 10 patients with 'localized' breast cancer (group 2) and 22 patients with 'advanced' breast cancer (group 3). Data are expressed as the number of MOC31-positive cells found in 50 million crude nucleated BM cells for each patient. The median and mean number of cells ± standard deviation of the mean are presented for each patient group.
