[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the most important metastatic and prognostic factor in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue by means of analyzing the relationship between histologic grading of mode of invasion and other clinicopathological parameters. Methods: A total of 75 cases with SCCs of the tongue were studied by histological method with Hematoxylin-Eosin (H-E) stained. Relationship between differentiation (WHO grading) and mode of invasion (Y-K grading) with other clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. Results: Differentiation has correlation with gender and mode of invasion, but it has no correlation with age, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis. The mode of invasion was associated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.011) and differentiation (P<0.025), but it was not correlated with gender, age and clinical stage. Among 68 cases with SCC of the tongue in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, there were significant difference (P<0.018) between mode of invasion and lymph node metastasis and but it was not associated with other parameters. Conclusion: This study indicates that the mode of invasion is a useful factor in predicting cervical lymph node metastasis and prognosis in SCC of the tongue. The application of diagnosis by the mode of invasion before surgery in the treatment of tongue SCC.

舌鳞状细胞癌是口腔颌面部常见恶性肿瘤,淋巴结转移率较高,约20%~50%[1-3],淋巴结转移是最重要的预后影响因子[4]。近年来分子生物学领域的口腔癌基础研究已获得了显著成绩,但由于癌症的发生发展过程非常复杂,目前病理组织学仍是所有临床诊断与实验研究的基础。若根据口腔癌患者初诊时组织病理学表现,客观地判断其组织学恶性度,预测肿瘤的生物学特性以及预后,将对口腔癌个体化诊断与治疗具有重大意义。口腔癌的组织学恶性度的经典评价方法有Jakobsson分类、Willen分类、Annerroth分类和浸润模式(mode of invasion,Y-K分类)等。浸润模式是采取Jakobsson分类所属浸润模式精髓,在临床实践中改进而形成的一种实用性较强的组织学恶性度评价法,它以肿瘤浸润前沿(invasive front)形态为焦点,根据肿瘤浸润前沿癌细胞的浸润形态来评价组织学恶性度。近来逐渐证实浸润模式与口腔癌淋巴结转移与预后有密切相关。本研究以75例舌鳞状细胞癌病例为研究对象,解析浸润模式与其它临床病理参数之间的关联,探索舌鳞状细胞癌淋巴结转移最重要的关联因子。

1 材料和方法

1.1 临床资料

收集2001年4月至2006年10月于日本东京医科齿科大学腭口腔外科住院手术治疗的舌鳞状细胞癌患者75例,年龄范围23~84岁(平均59岁)。全病例均属首次手术治疗,无术前放射线治疗和化学药物治疗史。患者临床资料如表1所示。患者术后随访时间中间值为6.9年,(0.6-10.3年)。本实验遵照日本东京医科齿科大学科研伦理委员会的相关规定,并获得了研究许可。endprint

1.2 研究方法

取舌癌手术切除标本,多聚甲醛固定石蜡包埋,在最大肿瘤切断面,4mm切片,Hematoxylin-Eosin (H-E)染色,进行舌癌浸润模式(Y-K分类)诊断,分析其与患者性别、年龄、临床分期、分化度(WHO分类)以及淋巴结转移等临床病理学参数之间的关系。

1.3 统计学处理

本实验数据应用SPSS13.0统计软件进行卡方检验分析,P<0.05认为差异有统计学意义。

2 结果

2.1 舌鳞状细胞癌组织病理学分析结果

全舌癌病例应用“(WHO)International histological classification of tumours, No4, histological typing of oral and oropharyngeal tumours, Geneva, 1971”的诊断标准进行病理学分化度诊断,其结果如表1所示:75例舌鳞状细胞癌中高分化31(42%)例,中分化37(49%)例,低分化7(9%)例。

应用“Histological grading of mode of invasion (Yamamoto & Kohama 1983) ”(图1)进行肿瘤浸润模式(Y-K分类)诊断,结果如表1所示,在 75例舌鳞状细胞癌中浸润模式1型3(4%)例、2型17(23%)例、3型34(45%)例、4C型20(27%)例,4D型1(1%)例(图2)。

2.2 WHO分化度、肿瘤浸润模式(Y-K分类)与临床病理学参数之间的关联

WHO分化度与性别(P<0.039)和肿瘤浸润模式有相关关系(P<0.012),而与年龄、临床分期和淋巴结转移无相关(表2)。肿瘤浸润模式(Y-K分类)与WHO分化度(P<0.025)和淋巴结转移(P<0.011)有相关关系,与性别、年龄、临床分期等均无相关(表3)。

为了探讨早期舌癌的潜在淋巴结转移情况,在临床病期Ⅰ与Ⅱ期的68例进行分析,淋巴结转移与肿瘤浸润模式(Y-K分类)有显著性差异(P<0.018),与其它临床病理因子无相关(表4)。

3 讨论

随着口腔癌临床研究进展,口腔鳞状细胞癌经历了几种具有代表性的组织学恶性度评价法。最初为1920年Broders根据分化与未分化的细胞比例,将其分4个阶段[5],但此方法只限于分化度来评价口腔癌的预后,受限性较大[6-7]。之后为1973年的Jakopsson分类[8],该分类把组织学恶性度与宿主之间的关系作为焦点,从宿主关联项目:浸润模式、浸润程度、脉管浸润、炎性细胞浸润和分化度相关项目:结构、角化程度、核多形性、分化度8个项目来评价组织学恶性度,每个项目均有各自的数字化标准。之后为1975年Willen分类法[9],考虑临床的实用价值,该方法消去Jakopsson分类的脉管内浸润和结构两项目而形成。由于上述数种方法的恶性度评价基准比较抽象,再加对于同一个例而言病理医师的主观性评价导致判断结果不统一等缺点,导致上述方法均没有获得与临床病理学参数之间的相关性。1987年Anneroth对Jakopsson分类进行改良,形成Anneroth分类[10],从而获得了Anneroth分类与肿瘤的病期、复发以及生存率之间的相关关系[10、11]。Anneroth分类包括细胞异型:角化程度、核多形性、核分裂像;结构异型:浸润形态、浸润程度、炎性细胞浸润6个项目;把各项目数字化后,总合点来评价口腔鳞状细胞癌的恶性度。但该方法的临床应用比较烦琐,不适合实际应用。

1983年日本学者Yamamoto和Kohama把癌浸润前沿(borderline)的浸润模式因子作为焦点,从Jakopsson分类[8]中采取了精髓,形成浸润模式(Y-K分类, Mode of invasion)。该分类把最弱的癌浸润像为浸润模式1型(YK-1);最强的浸润像作为4型(YK-4),并且把4型分成条索样浸润的4C型和弥漫状浸润的4D型。如图1所示,浸润模式分类的鉴别要点,1型:肿瘤浸润前沿(borderline)界限明确; 2型(YK-2):肿瘤浸润前沿轻度杂乱;3型(YK-3):肿瘤浸润前沿界限不明确,呈现大小不同的肿瘤细胞团块;4C型:又称条索状浸润型,肿瘤前缘界限不明确,肿瘤细胞呈条索状浸润;4D型:又称弥散状浸润型,肿瘤前缘界限不明确,肿瘤细胞呈弥散状浸润。口腔癌的浸润模式相当于消化道癌(食道癌、胃癌、大肠癌)的浸润增殖模式(INF: NFa, INFb, INFc),YK-1是口腔癌特有的高分化鳞状细胞癌分型,YK-2相当于NFa,YK-3相当于INFb,YK-4相当于INFc。Yamamoto等最初报道,在口腔癌多个临床参数与浸润模式有相关,预后、淋巴结转移、局部复发等发生于浸润模式4型病例远多于1、2和3型[12]。在舌癌方面,以往也有报道浸润模式与个别临床病理参数之间有相关[13]。

近年来有很多口腔癌浸润模式与分子生物学领域的癌浸润、转移、预后的相关报道,在口腔鳞状细胞癌中细胞粘接因子β-catenin和E-cadherin表达与其浸润模式呈负相关关系[19],肿瘤抑制因子Maspin(Mammary Serine Protease Inhibitor)表达与预后呈正相关关系[20-21],与浸润程度呈负相关关系[22]。作者也曾经发表过浸润模式与Cellular inhibitor-of-apoptosis protein 1 (cIAP-1)呈正相关关系[23]。

在口腔癌肿瘤间质的纤维含量紧密关联于浸润模式,在1型至4C型随其癌细胞浸润能力的增强,间质结缔组织被破坏强于增生;但是在4D型,其具有独特的浸润形态,强烈诱导结缔组织形成的同时有弥漫浸润能力[24]。

体外实验中观察口腔鳞状细胞癌细胞运动能力,在血清培养的条件下,浸润模式4D型癌细胞HOC313的运动面积最大,其次为4C型的OSC19,最小运动面积为浸润模式3型的OSC20[25-26]。在口腔癌化疗过程中,随其治疗的生效,浸润模式有降级表现(4D→4C型→3型→2型→1型)[27-28]。endprint

关于浸润模式(Y-K分类)与淋巴结转移率以及预后的关系,Yamamoto等进行了一系列研究,其结果显示浸润模式1、2型的初次转移率为5%左右,而3型为26.7%,4C型为 61.1%,4D型为75%;在回顾性研究中,后期转移率4C型为 45.5%,4D型为100%[16-18]。本研究结果证实,浸润模式4型和3型的淋巴结转移率明显高于2型和1型,具有统计学意义。另一方,分化度与淋巴结转移和临床分期无相关。

本研究提示浸润模式对预测舌鳞状细胞癌淋巴结转移具有指导意义,可对口腔癌的个体化治疗,尤其对术后治疗提供信息。浸润模式应用的疑问点在于其中间型和移行型的正确判断问题,3型与4型的病例中存在着预后好与差的病例,其原因在于形态相同的肿瘤细胞可能有不同生物学行为。目前很多转化研究尝试确立癌浸润、转移、预后的分子生物标记物。作者认为对于浸润模式分类有疑问的病例,主观判断联合应用这些分子生物学标记物,能够更好判断癌的浸润、转移暨预后。
