Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and the tumor budding with prognostic pathological features in colorectal adenocarcinoma patients. Subjects and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study of 176 colorectal adenocarcinoma patients at Military Hospital 103 from April 2021 to June 2024. TIL was evaluated according to ITWG 2014 and tumor budding according to ITBCC 2016 criteria. Results: The mean age was 66.03 ± 13.43; male/female ratio was 1.67/1. Low-grade TIL predominated (70.46%), while high-grade tumor budding accounted for 10.2%. Low-grade TIL was significantly associated with advanced tumor stage (p=0.015). High-grade tumor budding was correlated with poor differentiation (p=0.038), vascular (p<0.001) and perineural invasion (p=0.012). Conclusion: Tumor- infiltrating lymphocytes and tumor budding are closely associated with poor prognostic pathological features, confirming their roles as novel prognostic factors in colorectal adenocarcinoma.
