Colorectal carcinomas are the second most common cancer and cause of cancer death in Germany for both men and women. Different aspects of morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular pathological prognostic factors of colorectal carcinomas and their precursors were investigated. We demonstrated the prognostic relevance and importance of a precise classification of pericolonic tumor deposits (PTDs) in the pT category of the TNM classification. Furthermore, we demonstrated that patients with regional lymph node metastases after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in rectal carcinomas with ypN0 status do not have a worse prognosis than patients without signs of preoperative lymph node metastases. Molecular pathological examinations of so-called serrated colorectal fibroblastic polyps as possible precursor lesions of colorectal carcinomas showed that their epithelial area represents a true neoplastic component and thus allows for their consideration in the context of a risk assessment for colorectal carcinomas.
