calculated apoptotic body measurement calculated liver tumorous lesion measurement ratio of apoptotic bodies to intact tumor cells in nonremodelling liver tumorous lesions 2014-03-03T17:56:13Z A calculated measurement in which the number of apoptotic bodies found in a specified sample of nonremodelling liver tumorous lesions is divided by the number of viable neoplastic hepatocytes in the same sample, and the result presented as a ratio, fraction, quotient or percentage. Nonremodeling tumorous lesions are lesions which are or have the potential to become tumors (neoplasms or new growths of tissue in which cell multiplication is more or less uncontrolled and progressive) without any indication of a remodeling phenotype, that is, without a decrease in biochemical marker expression or growth rate, and without signs of regression. An apoptotic body is a small sealed membrane vesicle that is produced from cells undergoing cell death by apoptosis.
