German term

Zelldichte

German to English Medical Medical (general) brain tumor
Im Schnellschnitt sieht man sehr zelldichtes Tumorgewebe...

Zelldichte=dense I thought. Is this enough? I've been told to write "hypercellular" but that doesn't seem quite right.

Thanks!

http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=499912 Hypercellular seems to be used quite often in the context of tumours
Krys Williams Jun 2, 2006:
Hypercellularity refers to an increased number of normal cells and the term is not used in reference to tumours.
Dr Sue Levy (X) Jun 2, 2006:
It's an adjective - cell-dense = lots of cells packed together = hypercellular

Sure, it means high cellular density, but the term hypercellular means just that too. I don't see why you shouldn't use it.

Hypercellular:

Too many cells, for example within the bone marrow.
