Abstract
The largest tumor diameter, D(T), is a variable of great clinical value in breast cancer but a biased and imprecise estimator of real tumor size. Three-dimensional, shape-independent estimates would more realistically reflect the tumor bulk and provide more accurate clinical staging. For experimental oncology, the measurements may be useful for precise assessment of tumor burden.Keywords
