Abstract
Numerous clinicopathologic factors have been reported to have prognostic significance for gastrointestinal cancer. Many problems, however, confront the surgeon assessing the extent of disease and the clinical and molecular pathologist distinguishing differences in tumor differentiation, behavior, and defining important prognostic markers of cancer. This review assesses current pathologic prognostic variables of gastric and colorectal cancer that have been reported to influence survival.
