Notes: Each (of 93) area of endometrium analysed for clonal composition is represented by a color-coded symbol as monoclonal (red) or polyclonal (blue). Morphologic analysis by computer (D-Score) and mean diagnostic score of four pathologists is plotted for comparison of these assessments against clonality. This is intended as a case retrieval tool. In order to facilitate access to overlapping datapoints it was necessary to non-randomly jitter superimposed symbols. Precise numerical values for X and Y axis parameters are given in the Case Details retrieved upon clicking a symbol. Computer morphometry included analysis of three primary parameters which were incorporated into the calculated cancer predictive D-Score according to a formula described in the Methods. Of the three primary computer morphometric parameters the stromal volume, expressed as a percentage (VPS,%) was itself highly predictive of clonal result. See the similar Hypermap for retrieval by Volume Percentage Stroma.
