description

It is well established that the prognosis of cancer patients depends on several factors including: the local extension of the tumour, and the presence of single or multiple tumours; the presence or absence of lymph-node metastases and/or distant metastases; the presence or absence of neoplastic cells in lymphatics or in blood vessels; the histopathological type and architecture; the degree of cellular differentiation; the tumour — host relationship, including the patient’s immunological reactivity.
