Fifty cases of breast cancer have been assayed for sex chromatin incidence. There was a direct correlation between the percentage of tumor cells with sex chromatin and survival for patients who expired within 8 years. Patients who survived longed than 8 years had, as a group, a higher incidence of tumor cells with sex chromatin than did those who expired earlier.
