Does detailed analysis of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and tumor budding identify predictors of long-term survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma?
Detailed immunohistochemical assessment confirms a relationship between EMT and tumor budding at the tumor-host interface. A small group of patients with favorable prognosis can be identified by combined assessment of lymph node ratio and EMT in tumor buds.
No day-of-admission-dependent differences of mortality were detected in the analysed group. Weekend  admissions were associated with longer duration of PNICU stay in children.
