A total of 519 [human] colorectal carcinomas were examined for the presence or absence of mucinous differentiation by means of microscopical morphometry. Of these, 28% had objectively measurable amounts of mucinous tumour epithelium. Tumors with > 50% mucinous areas (14%) had significantly poorer prognosis than nonmucinous in stages A and C, while mucinous differentiation did not correlate with prognosis in stages B and D. Lymph nodes regional to mucinous tumors had significantly less paracortical response, and those with > 50% mucinous differentiation, significantly less perivascular lymphocyte cuffing at the tumor margins. These lymph node and stromal compartments are putative T-lymphocyte areas. Mucinous tumours apparently are less stimulatory or perhaps inhibitory of cell-mediated immunity.
