Background: The diagnostic impact of lymphovascular invasion (LVI), perineural invasion (PNI), and tumor budding in stage I colon cancer is currently unknown. This study was conducted to evaluate the prognostic impact of LVI, PNI, and tumor budding in stage I colon cancer.

Methods: From January 2008 to December 2013, 720 patients who underwent curative surgery and were diagnosed with stage I colon cancer were reviewed retrospectively. These patients were categorized into two groups based on LVI, PNI, and tumor budding: the no risk group (n = 566) and risk group (n = 154).

Results: Median follow-up period was 103.5 months, and the 5-year disease-free survival rate of the risk group was significantly lower than that of the no risk group (p = 0.025). In multivariate analysis, only the risk group had prognostic factors for 5-year disease-free survival (p = 0.036). In addition, only differentiation was an independent predictor in the risk group (p = 0.009).

Conclusion: LVI, PNI, and tumor budding are strong prognostic factors for stage I colon cancer. Therefore, patients with positive LVI, PNI, or tumor budding should receive close follow-up and potentially be considered for chemotherapy.

The mechanism of tumor budding (TB) in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) and its relationship with biological indicators and prognostic significance, remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis using whole-slide imaging to evaluate TB in 75 cases of GAC. Our findings revealed the risk factors associated with TB in GAC and their impact on patient prognosis.

The presence of high tumor budding in colorectal carcinomas is a significant pathological feature indicative of a high potential for lymph node metastasis. Our aim was to investigate the prognostic impact of tumor budding in ampullary carcinomas. We conducted a cohort of 101 consecutive ampullary carcinoma resections to evaluate tumor budding, macroscopic and microscopic subtypes, lymphatic/vascular/perineural invasions, and other histopathological parameters.

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a standardized procedure for intramucosal and slightly invasive submucosal colorectal cancers (CRC). However, the role of ESD for T1b (depth of submucosal invasion: ≥1,000 μm) CRC remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of ESD for T1b CRC.

This study examined factors influencing the onset and progression of colorectal tumors, including patients' epidemiological data, tumor location (right-sided, left-sided, and rectal), histomorphology, perineural or intraneural invasion, lymph node status, immune reactions, mismatch repair (MMR) status, and commonly observed mutations. Our primary goal was to evaluate their predictive and prognostic value and interactions. We analyzed a retrospective cohort of 100 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma diagnosed between 2020 and 2023, using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor blocks.
