| pubmed-article:2479068 | pubmed:abstractText | The authors studied 58 cutaneous carcinomas in the elderly in order to observe the stromal connective tissue changes of the carcinomas in the region of the cheek as compared to those in the dorsal area. Qualitative microscopic methods and morphometric ones, which make possible an objective evaluation of the existing changes, were used. An inverse relation between the abundance of stroma in the fibrillar structures and the degree of tumoral invasion and dissemination was noticed. A treatment able to enhance this type of stromal reaction, favourably influencing the evolution of carcinoma is needed. | lld:pubmed |
