Tumour budding and tumour–stroma ratio in hepatocellular carcinoma

Background Tumour budding and low tumour–stroma ratio (TSR) are associated with poor prognosis in some cancers, but their value in Western hepatocellular carcinoma is unclear. The prognostic value of tumour budding and TSR in hepatocellular carcinoma was examined. Methods Some 259 hepatocellular car...

Zusammenfassung:Background Tumour budding and low tumour–stroma ratio (TSR) are associated with poor prognosis in some cancers, but their value in Western hepatocellular carcinoma is unclear. The prognostic value of tumour budding and TSR in hepatocellular carcinoma was examined. Methods Some 259 hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated in Oulu University Hospital 1983–2018 were included in this retrospective cohort study. Tumour budding and TSR were analysed from the haematoxylin- and eosin-stained original diagnostic slides, by dividing patients into bud-negative (0 bud) or bud-positive (≥1 bud) groups, and into high TSR (
