[A proposal for staging and grading of carcinomas of the papilla of Vater (author's transl)].
Reviewing 28 carcinomas of the papilla of vater from the material of our department, an attempt was made to develop a staging and grading system oriented along the lines of WHO recommendations and largely integrates Dukes findings. The staging system provides for 3 stages, i.e. A. B. and C. for grading, 3 degrees of malignancy, i.e. g1. G2. and G3. are distinguished. These, in turn, are based on 3 criteria : histological dedifferentiation, cytological dedifferentiation, and the number of mitoses. In the 14 patients with low-stage (stage A) and low-grade (grade G1) cancer life expectancy was excellent ; indeed it was significantly better (p less than 0.05) than in the other 2 groups.
