I am interested in knowing the range of values reported out for %S activity
when solid tumors such as breast are analyzed. Secondly, I am interested
in know what most labs do about determining what is a high value versus a
low value. Since diploid tumors always have lower values than aneuploid
tumors, do most labs define different cut points for these two groups? If
they do, how many cut points are used and what are the values for these cut
points. Are laboratories following the CONSENSUS REPORT OF 1993?

I will be happy to collect the responses and give a summary after a period
of time. I firmly believe that giving a number without a comment as to its
relative value of %S is meaningless
