Evaluation of Tumor Cell Dissociation as a Predictive Marker of Lymph Node Metastasis in Submucosal Invasive Colorectal Carcinoma
PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS:Tumor cell dissociation was more frequently identified in submucosal invasive colorectal carcinoma cases with lymph node metastasis than in those without lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0001). Decreased membranous expression of E-cadherin occurred more frequently in submucosal...

METHODS:
RESULTS:Tumor cell dissociation was more frequently identified in submucosal invasive colorectal carcinoma cases with lymph node metastasis than in those without lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0001). Decreased membranous expression of E-cadherin occurred more frequently in submucosal invasive colorectal carcinoma cases with lymph node metastasis than in those without lymph node metastasis (P = 0.025). Nuclear expression of beta-catenin tended to be present in submucosal invasive colorectal carcinoma cases with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.063). Decreased membranous expression of E-cadherin occurred more frequently in submucosal invasive colorectal carcinoma cases with tumor cell dissociation than in those without tumor cell dissociation (P = 0.0023).
