usually the most indicative biomarker is called Ki-67

it is a measure of proliferation and reflects the percentage of cells which are in the act of dividing. It seems anything over 10% is usually cited as high and I have seen numbers as high as 50%.

Mitosis is a three syllable word for cell division, so the mitotic rate is the speed with which cells divide (proliferate).

Hope some of this helped
