Abstract

Lymphatic and/or capillary microinvasion is a more powerful predictor of 5-year survival than lymph node metastases or tumor extension to adjacent organs. Correlation among clinicopathologic variables suggests that microinvasion may represent an early finding, serving as a potential marker for a biologically more aggressive tumor.
