Core Tip |
Ampullary adenocarcinomas are heterogeneous tumors with different responses to specific chemotherapy regimens and prognosis, probably because they are a heterogenous group including differing ampullary growth and overlapping of histological phenotypes. Conventional histology does not allow a definitive identification of the three subgroups. We used an immunohistochemical score based on CDX2, CK7 and CK20 and identified only two sub-types, representing two groups of apparently separate neoplastic disorders with different oncological outcomes. |
