Tumor Budding Should Be in Oral Cavity Cancer Reporting: A Retrospective Cohort Study Based on Tumor Microenvironment
The utility of histological grading, which is useful in predicting prognosis in many tumors, is controversial for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

description | The utility of histological grading, which is useful in predicting prognosis in many tumors, is controversial for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Therefore, new histopathological parameters should be added to histopathology reports of OSCCs. The study aimed to evaluate the parameters of worst invasion pattern (WPOI) and tumor budding in patients with OSCC, to compare them with other histopathological parameters, clinical data and overall survival, and to evaluate these results within the literature. A total of 73 OSCC cases with excisional biopsies were included in this study. WPOI, tumor budding, cell nest size, tumor-stroma ratio, stromal lymphocyte infiltration and stroma type, as well as classical histopathological parameters, were evaluated on hematoxylin-eosin-stained sections. Perineural invasion, lymph node metastases, advanced stage, presence of more than five buds and single cell invasion pattern in univariate survival analyses are characterized by a shortened overall survival time. While there was no significant difference between WPOI results and survival in the survival analysis, WPOI 5 was associated with more frequent lymph node metastasis and advanced stage at the time of diagnosis compared to WPOI 4. We concluded that tumor budding and single-cell invasion should be considered prognostic histopathologic parameters in OSCC. |
