ADC is known to have inverse correlation with
cellularity. Considering that cellularity is linked with
prognosis in breast mucinous carcinoma (MBC), we
examined the association between ADC and Ki-67 index (a
marker of tumor proliferation) in MBC comparing with
invasive carcinoma of no special type. ADC showed
inverse correlation with cellularity(r=-0.802,
p=<0.0001) and with Ki-67 index (r=-0.825, p=<0.0001) in
MBC. The ability of ADC to classify highly proliferating
MBC from low proliferating one was also demonstrated.
ADC can be a promising non-invasive surrogate marker for
Ki-67 index in the risk stratification of MBC.
