S100A8 and neoplasm: Our study found that S100A8/A9 positive cell count observed in the tumor microenvironment (peritumoral, intratumoral) was significantly high in the study sample of 80 patients diagnosed with colorectal adenocarcinoma (30 patients with distant metastases, 30 patients with lymph node metastasis, and 20 cases with no metastasis), and comparison with clinicopathological parameters revealed that increased number of S100A8/A9 positive cells was associated with tumor size, high grade, and metastasis.
