Hello All,

A doc I interviewed today mentioned that the amount of cCells present
in the biopsy cores is not factored into the nomogram score but should
be. Perhaps he was just painting a rosy picture in my particular case.
It seems like it should be a reasonable part of the success rate. Have
you heard of this or does it seem valid to you? In my biopsy, 2 out of
10 cores were positive with "only"  2 millimeter and  3 millimeter
cCell samples present. Which begs another question: how long are the
cores?

Thanks,

I am referring to the Parten Tables and cCells are Cancer Cells.
