Tumour budding, poorly differentiated clusters, and T-cell response in colorectal cancer.

Background: Tumour budding and poorly differentiated clusters (PDC) represent forms of tumour invasion. We hypothesised that T-cell densities (reflecting adaptive anti-tumour immunity) might be inversely associated with tumour budding and PDC in colorectal carcinoma.

Methods: Utilising 915 colon and rectal carcinomas in two U.

Concomitant detection of hematological neoplasm and carcinoma: report on seven cases.

Context: The presence of multiple neoplasms in one patient is an uncommon event. Its occurrence ranges from 1.2% to 4.
