2012, Cancer Treatment ReviewsCitation Excerpt :In addition to the study by Nagtegaal and colleagues,46 Klintrup et al.50 reported increased neutrophil grade at the invasive margin was an important prognostic factor although both studies reported a positive prognostic value of multiple other cell types concluding that a more general non-specific immune reaction was important. Seven studies were identified in which the relationship between tumour mast cell infiltration and survival in colorectal cancer was examined44,46,99,102–105 (Table 12). In six of these studies44,46,99,102,104,105 high mast cell infiltration was related to improved survival.
