Tumor Budding and Poorly Differentiated Clusters in Small Intestinal Adenocarcinoma.


ABSTRACT: The clinicopathologic and prognostic significances of tumor budding (TB) and poorly-differentiated clusters (PDC) have not been investigated in small intestinal adenocarcinomas (SIACs). In 236 surgically-resected SIACs, we counted TB (single cells or clusters ?4 tumor cells) and PDC (clusters ?5 tumor cells) at the peritumoral-invasive front (p) and in the intratumoral area (i) independently to classify as grade-1 (?4), grade-2 (5-9), or grade-3 (?10). Consequently, grades-2 and -3 were considered high-grade. High-pTB, -iTB, -pPDC, and -iPDC were observed in 174 (73.7%), 129 (54.7%), 118 (50.0%), and 85 (36.0%) cases, respectively. High-TB/PDCs were more frequently observed in tumors with high-grade, higher T- and N-categories and stage grouping, and perineural or lymphovascular invasion. Patients with high-TB/PDC had a shorter survival than those with low-TB/PDC. In a multivariate analysis, high-pTB, nonintestinal type, high N-category, retroperitoneal seeding, and microsatellite-stable were worse independent-prognostic predictors. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that patients with high-pTB showed worse survival (median: 42.5 months) than those with low-pTB (133.7 months; p = 0.007) in the lower stage (stages I-II) group. High-TB/PDC, both in peritumoral and intratumoral localizations, were associated with aggressive behaviors in SIACs. High-pTB can be used as an adverse prognostic indicator in SIAC patients, especially when patients are in early disease stages.

The clinicopathologic and prognostic significances of tumor budding (TB) and poorly-differentiated clusters (PDC) have not been investigated in small intestinal adenocarcinomas (SIACs). In 236 surgically-resected SIACs, we counted TB (single cells or clusters ≤4 tumor cells) and PDC (clusters ≥5 tumor cells) at the peritumoral-invasive front (p) and in the intratumoral area (i) independently to classify as grade-1 (≤4), grade-2 (5-9), or grade-3 (≥10). Consequently, grades-2 and -3 were consider  ...[more]
