Tumour budding refers to lone tumour cells or small clusters of tumour cells at the advancing front of a tumour.[1]
General
- Poor prognosticator in colorectal carcinoma and invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast.[2][3]
Microscopic
Definitions:
- Tumour bud = 1-4 cell(s) -- at the tumour front.
- "High-grade budding" is >=10 tumour buds in a field of 0.385 mm2.[1]
Note:
- If the microscope has a 22 mm eye piece and...
- A 20x objective, the field is approximately 0.950 mm2 -- to match the buds/area -- it would be 24.68 buds/0.950 mm2.
- A 40x objective, the field is approximately 0.238 mm2 -- to match the buds/area -- it would be 6.17 buds/0.238 mm2.
DDx:
- Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.
