What is the shimada index?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Neuroblastoma index: The shimada index is a histopathologic classification system, widely used for neuroblastoma, developed by h. Shimada. Using the shimada criteria, kids with neuroblastoma can be grouped into a favorable or unfavorable category. It's based on the presence or absence of cell stroma, the degree of differentiation, and the mitosis-karyorrhexis index.
