Abstract:

Purpose: To study the features of morphology and clinical significance of different types of tumor vessels in gastric (GC) and breast cancer (BC). Material and methods: Tumor samples of 73 patients with GC and 59 patients with BC were stained with Mayer’s hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemically, using antibodies to CD34. Results: The following types of tumor vessels and structures with endothelial lining were identified: normal capillaries, dilated capillaries (DCs), atypical DCs (ADCs), “cavitary” structures type- 1 (CS type 1) – the structures with partial endothelial lining and “cavitary” structures type-2 (CS type-2) – the distinctive cellular structures in peritumoral stroma. The ADCs, CS type-1 and CS type-2 most significantly correlated with the clinical features of GC and BC. In GC the multiple CS type-1 and ADCs were associated with T3-4 (p = 0.001) and N2 (p = 0.001) stages and with a decrease of overall survival from 93.9% to 52.7% (p = 0, 0013) and relapse-free survival from 87.7% to 32.4% (p = 0.0001); in BC - with estrogen receptors negative status (p = 0.03), with the presence of tumor emboli in vessels (p = 0.08) and with a decrease of relapse-free survival from 85.7% to 56.2% (p = 0.046). As for the CS type-2, these structures were more often detected in diffuse type of GC (p = 0.07). In BC the CS type-2 were more often observed in positive Her2/new status (p = 0.008). Conclusion: In GC and BC the tumor vessels are heterogeneous in morphology and clinical significance.
