Worst pattern of invasion, abbreviated WPOI, is schema for classifying tumour morphologic patterns with the goal of predicting tumour behaviour.[1]

General

  • WPOI is predictive of disease free survival in oral cancer.[1]
  • WPOI five patterns - but generally divided into two (prognostic) groups:
    • WPOI 1-4: better prognosis.
    • WPOI 5: poor prognosis.

Definition of WPOI 5

WPOI 5 is defined as: >=1 mm normal tissue between two tumour masses.[2]
