摘　　要：AIM:To analyze the expression of 8 putative cancer stem cell(CSC) markers within colorectal cancer tumor buds and to determine their prognostic impact in patients with this disease. METHODS:Immunohistochemistry was performed on 101 colorectal cancer resections for CK22(to identify tumor buds) as well as CD133,CD166,CD24,CD44s,CD90,EpCAM,ALDH1,and ABCG5,and their expression within tumor buds was evaluated. RESULTS:CD90,CD44s,and CD133 expression in tumor buds was found in less than 5%of all cases. ALDH1,CD24,CD166 were expressed in 16.5%,16.2%,and 34%cases,respectively,while ABCG5 and EpCAM expression was more frequent and found in 35%and 69%of cases,respectively.Of the 8 markers studied,EpCAM and ABCG5 positivity in tumor buds were significantly associated with poor prognosis(P=0.023,P=0.038,respectively) in multivariable analysis with pT and pN classificationP=0.048;hazard ratio(HR) :2.64;95%CI:1.0-6.9,for EpCAM and P=0.029;HR:2.22;95%CI:1.0-4.5,for ABCG5.Poor survival time was particularly striking for lymph node-negative patients with ABCG5-positive buds(P<0.001) . CONCLUSION:Expression of putative stem cell markers EpCAM and ABCG5 within the tumor buds of colorectal cancer are frequently noted and are associated with poor prognosis.AIM:To analyze the expression of 8 putative cancer stem cell(CSC) markers within colorectal cancer tumor buds and to determine their prognostic impact in patients with this disease.
