Abstract

MIB-1 immunohistochemistry is a useful adjunct in neuropathological diagnosis. Higher MIB-1 staining indices generally correlate with increased risk of recurrence and rapid growth. However, the methodology of immunostaining and counting, and the special cut-off levels have varied considerably among studies. The author reviewed the literature to find the validity and the limitation of MIB-1 immunohistochemistry in brain tumors.
