Abstract
Statistical procedures and software packages appropriate for the analysis of morphometric data are discussed. In a typical situation, morphometry is used to provide an objective system of measures, which along with various demographic data can be used to project the probability of recurrence of disease. Morphometric methods are compared to subjective grading systems, which have been used to predict survival, but at best semiquantify architectural and cytologic features.<>
