Rosella Silvestrini, Scientific Adviser Ufficio CNR, Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Milan, Italy Send letter to journal: Re: Re: Basal-like breast carcinomas silvestrini{at}istitutotumori.mi.it Rosella Silvestrini	Dear Editor, I recently read the article, "Basal-like breast carcinomas; clinical outcome and response to chemotherapy" by Banerjee et al. (corresponding author, Prof. Smith), published online in Journal of Clinical Pathology on 23.03.06. I would like to point out that the authors incorrectly make reference to a paper of mine (reference 3), published in Journal of Clinical Oncology in 1995, in connection with grade determination. I have never been involved in this particular field, indeed I have serious doubts as to its reproducibility, and my article cited does not deal with grading but with cell proliferation determined as Thymidine Labelling Index. Yours sincerely, Rosella Silvestrini, Ph.D.
