abstract = {Objective: This study was undertaken to determine the expression of apoptosis in breast cancer and to evaluate its significance as a prognostic marker.
Methods: A series of 91 invasive breast cancer was analysed for the expression of apoptosis by using the 3- end-labeling method of DNA in tissue sections. The apoptotic indexes were the percentages of apoptotic cells among tumor cells.
Results: The end-labeling method allowed a precise evaluation of the expression of apoptosis. Apoptosis occurred in 91.1% of breast cancer patients, and apoptotie indexes were divided into two groups, 0- 0.21 and 0.28-0.62. Low apoptotic index was related to axillary lymph node metastasis (P},
