Mucinous and Signet-Ring Cell Colorectal Cancers Differ from Classical Adenocarcinomas in Tumor Biology and Prognosis

Mucinous adenocarcinomas are uncommon and signet-ring cell carcinomas are rare histological subtypes of colorectal cancer, which differ from classical adenocarcinomas in clinicopathology and prognosis. In particular, signet-ring cell carcinomas could be taken into account for individual risk estimat...

Description
Summary:Mucinous adenocarcinomas are uncommon and signet-ring cell carcinomas are rare histological subtypes of colorectal cancer, which differ from classical adenocarcinomas in clinicopathology and prognosis. In particular, signet-ring cell carcinomas could be taken into account for individual risk estimation because of their clearly different behavior.
