Tumour regression can occur (1) sporadically, or (2) as a consequence of treatment (treatment response).

Sporadic tumour regression

Well-known:

May occur in:

Note:

  • Melanocytic lesions in general, not only melanoma, may regress.[2][3]

Microscopic

Features:

  • +/-Fibrosis.
  • +/-Mucin.
  • +/-Inflammation.
  • +/-Histiocytes.

Note:

Grading of tumour regression

Colorectal carcinoma

There is a three tiered regression grading system by Ryan et al. for colorectal cancer.[4]

Esophageal carcinoma

  • The three tier system from Ryan et al. for colorectal cancer has been applied to esophageal carcinomas.[5]

Ovarian carcinoma

This has been examined by McCluggage et al.[6]
