E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Comparison of the histological traits of invasive tumour front of the surgical tumour resection specimen between the intervention group and the placebo group: 1. Fascin1 expression in tumour tissue: It will be analysed by immunohistochemistry and the application of Immunoscore. 2. Histological manifestations of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT): Tumour budding, cytoplasmic pseudo-fragments, infiltrating growth pattern and poorly differentiated nests. It will be evaluated by histological analysis. 3. Invasive histological manifestations: discontinuous extramural extension, lymphatic, venous and perineural infiltration. It will be evaluated by histological analysis. 4. Histological manifestation of the immune response: Peritumoral and intratumour lymphocyte infiltration. It will be evaluated by histological analysis. 5. EMT molecular manifestations: FSCN1, SNAIL and SLUG gene expression. It will be evaluated by NGS analysis of the primary tumour. |
