S-phase Fraction (SPF)

By Anonymous User

The percentage of cells that are replicating their DNA. DNA replication usually indicates that a cell is getting ready to split into two new cells. A low SPF is a sign that a tumor is slow growing; a high SPF shows that the cells are dividing rapidly and the tumor is growing quickly.
