要旨 内視鏡的,外科的に切除された大腸sm massive癌70症例とmp癌51症例について,腫瘍径から10mm以下,11mm以上20mm以下,21mm以上の3群に分類し,増殖様式,adenoma componentの有無,K-ras変異の有無,p53,β-catenin,E-cadherinの免疫組織学的発現パターンについて解析し,10mm以下のsm massive以深に浸潤した大腸癌の分子病理学的特徴を検討した.腫瘍径10mm以下のsm massive癌とmp癌は,ともにnon-protruded typeの増殖様式を示す病変が多く,adenoma componentを伴う頻度は低かった.また,K-ras変異は低頻度であり,β-catenin,E-cadherinの細胞膜への局在が消失した病変を多く認め,21mm以上の病変とは異なった特性を示した.よって10mm以下のsm massive癌は水平方向への進展より垂直方向に浸潤する性質を持ち10mm前後の進行癌になると思われた.
To clarify the molecular biological characteristics of early colorectal carcinomas massively invading the sub-mucosa (sm) and advanced colorectal carcinomas, we classified 70 cases of massively invading sm carcinomas and 51 cases of carcinomas with invasion of the muscularis propria (mp) into three groups according to tumor diameter as follows: - tumor less than 10 mm, more than 11 mm and less than 20 mm and more than 21 mm in diameter. We also investigated the growth type and K-ras point mutation and made an immunohistochemical study of p53, β-catenin and E-cadherin of those carcinomas.
The rate of non-polypoid growth type of massive sm carcinomas less than 10 mm in diameter is higher than that of massive sm carcinomas more than 21 mm in diameter (70.8% vs 7.1%; p<0.01). Similarly, the rate of non polypoid growth type of mp carcinomas less than 10 mm in diameter is higher than that of mp carcinomas more than 21 mm in diameter (50.0% vs 8.3%; p<0.05). The rate of massive sm carcinomas less than 10 mm with an adenoma component is lower than that of massive sm carcinomas more than 21 mm with an adenoma component (12.5% vs 57.1%; p<0.05).
The rate of K-ras mutation of massive sm carcinomas less than 10 mm in diameter is lower than that of massive sm carcinomas more than 21 mm in diameter (11.1% vs 55.6%; p<0.05). None of the mp carcinomas less than 10 mm in diameter showed K-ras mutation. In immunoreactivity of p53 protein, massive sm carcinomas less than 10 mm diameter showed stronger overexpression than massive sm carcinomas more than 21 mm in diameter. In immunoreactivity of E-cadherin and β-catenin, most massive sm carcinomas less than 10 mm in diameter showed decreased membranous expression. Small mp carcinomas showed similar immunoreactivity of p53, E-cadherin and β-catenin.
Massive sm carcinomas less than 10 mm in diameter and mp carcinomas less than 10 mm in diameter showed similar molecular biological characteristics. These results suggested that sm massive carcinomas less than 10 mm in diameter develop and become small mp carcinomas.
