Tumour budding with and without admixed inflammation: two different sides of the same coin?

British Journal of Cancer

Abstract

Tumour budding is an adverse prognostic indicator in colorectal cancer (CRC). Marked overall peritumoural inflammation has been associated with favourable outcome and may lead to the presence of isolated cancer cells due to destruction of invading cancer cell islets. We assessed the prognostic significance of tumour budding and peritumoural inflammation in a cohort of 381 patients with CRC applying univariate and multivariate analyses. Patients with high-grade budding and marked inflammation had a significantly better outcome compared with patients with high-grade budding and only mild inflammation. Outcome in these cases, however, was still worse compared with cases with low-grade budding, in which the extent of peritumoural inflammation had no further prognostic effect. Tumour budding proved to be a powerful prognostic variable in patients with CRC. Scattering of invading cancer cell islets by marked overall peritumoural inflammation seems to have a minor role.

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
