Figure 2.

Represents the percentage of different fractions of cells as analysed by flow cytometry. (A) Proportion of different fractions of cells in type I endometrial cancer. (B) Proportion of different fractions of cells in type II endometrial cancer. (C) Flow cytometric analysis of the percentage of different fractions of cells in type I and type II endometrial cancer tumour samples.
