Abstract
Cell kinetic data may be important indicators of clinical behaviour in many types of cancer. Recently, several antibodies to cell-cycle asso ciated antigens have been characterised. This overview summarises the advantages and disadvantages of different methods for the assessment o f cell proliferation. Moreover, the prognostic value of proliferative activity in gastric cancer is discussed and suggestions for future res earch are given. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
