Characterization of
perineural invasion as a component of colorectal cancer staging.
We also investigated the relationship between clinicopathological features of PCa, such as Gleason scores, presence of extraprostatic invasion,
perineural invasion, positive margin resection, seminal vesicle invasion, and NLR, PLR and NMR.
The significance of
perineural invasion found on needle biopsy of the prostate: implications for definitive therapy.
Histopathological parameters, such as
perineural invasion, could help identify patients that might benefit from adjuvant chemotherapies.

Perineural invasion as a prognostic factor for cervical cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
(6,7,14) In our study, patients with close margins who received postoperative RT had significantly more nodal involvement, significantly more advanced cancer stage, and a significantly greater frequency of
perineural invasion than did patients with close surgical margins who did not receive RT.
In our case series, the rate of lymphatic invasion was found to be similar to that reported in previous series (50%), whereas the
perineural invasion rate was lower (20%) (4,14).
The pathologic evaluation identified the well-differentiated minimally invasive SCC without
perineural invasion and PTC in gross specimens.
Pathological characteristics of patient tumors including histologic grade, nodal invasion, vascular tumor thrombus, and
perineural invasion were also collected.
All lesions were pT1 (n=51) or pT2 (n=23), with 1 lesion displaying lymphovascular invasion and 4 lesions with (5.5%)
perineural invasion. Mean excision margins were 4.5mm peripherally (range <1-13mm, SD 2.6mm) and 4.0 mm deep (range <1mm-16mm, SD 3.5mm).
Histology identified changes consistent with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the BG involving surgical margins with
perineural invasion. The tumour showed extensive cribriform and tubular islands of malignant epithelium infiltrating hyaline stroma, containing intraluminal basement membrane like material.
