[Morphologic factors influencing the prognosis of squamous-cell cervical cancer]
Abstract
The role of such morphological factors as depth of invasion, tumor growth pattern, distinct boundary of tumor, presence of tumor emboli in vessels, level of lymphocyte-plasmocyte infiltration and mitotic activity of tumor cells in the course and prognosis of squamous-cell cervical carcinoma has been studied. Invasion depth, tumor pattern, tumor boundary and emboli in the vessels are prognostically relevant in lymph-related dissemination and recurrence of the disease.
