validity of Ag-NOrs profile in some epithelial ovarian tumors

ABSTRACT

Ag-NOR profile was determined in the nuclei of 66 ovarian tumors and 6 normal ovarian tissues the results showed that assessment of Ag-NOR in tissue prints and paraffin sections can be of value in distinguishing benign from borderline and/or malignant ovarian tumors. This finding may be of clinical value particularly during operation. Borderline ovarian tumors with Ag-NOR profile similar to malignant lesions must be evaluated more seriously and prospective study must be done to establish precisely its malignant potential
