The clinicopathological significance of micropapillary pattern in colorectal cancers
The aim of the present study is to elucidate the clinicopathological significance and prognostic role of micropapillary pattern (MPP) in colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated the correlation between the presence of MPP and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis in 266 CRCs. In addition, the clinicopathological significance of MPP in mucin pools was investigated and compared to pure MPP, which is not associated with mucin pools. MPP, regardless of its proportion in the overall tumor, was found in 74 of 266 CRCs (27.8%).
