Title : Evaluation of tumor associated tissue eosinophilia and other histomorphological variables as markers of metastasis in squamous cell carcinomas

Abstract:

This presentation will tabulate all the cases of squamous cell carcinoma irresepective of their site of origin that were operated in a tertiary referral centre of North India. Tumors were histomorphologically divided into low and high grades of tumor associated tissue eosinophilia (TATE) and these categories are correlated with other variables like tumor borders, pleomorphism, desmoplasia and presence or absence of documented metastasis. The study concludes that tumors with low grades of TATE showed a higher incidence of metastasis.
