Fig. 1 Proliferation index (grading) of gastrointestinal NET as assessed by Ki67 immunocytochemistry in biopsies of liver metastases. Arrows indicate positive cells. (a) Well-differentiated carcinoid (Ki67: none or <2% cells/10 HPF); (b) low-grade malignant carcinoid (Ki67: 2–5% cells/10 HPF); (c) poorly-differentiated endocrine carcinoma (Ki67: >10% cells/10 HPF).
