Unlabelled: The aim was to study the prognostic impact of tumor infiltration of the subserosa in colonic adenocarcinoma, by evaluating the degree of tumor infiltration in the subserosa (DISS), tumor-serosa distance (DTS), and invasion of the elastic boundary of the subserosa (ILE) after elastic fiber staining.
Material And Methods: All patients operated on for colonic adenocarcinoma classified as pT3 without lymph node or visceral metastasis operated on at the CHU d'Amiens between 2004 and 2017 were included. All slides were reviewed by 2 pathologists.
