Serrated lesions of the colorectum are precursors perhaps one-third colorectal cancers (CRCs). Cancers arising in serrated usually proximal colon, and account for a disproportionate fraction cancer identified after colonoscopy. We sought to provide guidance clinical management based on current evidence expert opinion regarding definitions, classification, significance lesions. A consensus conference was held over 2 days reviewing topic from perspectives histology, molecular biology,...

PURPOSE To update key recommendations of the American Society Clinical Oncology/College Pathologists estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) testing in breast cancer guideline. METHODS A multidisciplinary international Expert Panel was convened to clinical practice guideline informed by a systematic review medical literature. RECOMMENDATIONS The continues recommend ER invasive cancers validated immunohistochemistry as standard for predicting which patients may benefit from endocrine...

The "hyperplastic polyp" is considered a benign lesion with no malignant potential, whereas "serrated adenoma" precursor of adenocarcinoma. morphologic complexity the serrated adenoma varies from being clearly adenomatous to difficult distinguish hyperplastic polyp, which creates need for more detailed analysis all polyps. We evaluated 24 variables in 289 polyps colon and rectum. Cluster discriminant were performed. A subset was immunostained hMLH1 hMSH2. Major differences found between...

Abstract Purpose.—To develop a guideline to improve the accuracy of immunohistochemical (IHC) estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone (PgR) testing in breast cancer utility these receptors as predictive markers. Methods.—The American Society Clinical Oncology College Pathologists convened an international Expert Panel that conducted systematic review evaluation literature partnership with Cancer Care Ontario developed recommendations for optimal IHC ER/PgR performance. Results.—Up 20%...

The morphologic distinction between various serrated polyps of the colorectum may be challenging. sessile adenoma (SSA) and traditional (TSA) difficult using currently available criteria mostly based on cytologic characteristics. We have evaluated 66 including 29 SSA, 18 TSA, 19 hyperplastic for overall shape polyps, architectural features individual crypts, presence eosinophilic cytoplasm, size distribution proliferation maturation zones, as well Ki-67 CK20 expression. extent expression...

Recent characterizations of mucins at the molecular level indicate that least eight mucin genes are expressed by epithelia mucosal surfaces. The purpose this study was to determine whether these cloned mucins, designated MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC5B, MUC6, and MUC7, female reproductive tract. Northern blot analysis, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry were performed using RNA tissue from surgically removed human tract specimens including endocervix, ectocervix, vagina,...

Standardization of controls, both positive and negative is needed for diagnostic immunohistochemistry (dIHC). The use IHC-negative irrespective type, although well established, not standardized. As such, the relevance applicability controls continues to challenge pathologists laboratory budgets. Despite clear theoretical notion that appropriate serve demonstrate sensitivity specificity dIHC test, it remains unclear which types are applicable and/or useful in day-to-day clinical practice....

Whereas L26 (anti-CD20) is well established as a B-cell marker of high specificity for use in paraffin-embedded tissues and JCB117 (anti-CD79a) increasingly used, comparable additional pan-B-cell antibody has hitherto not yet been identified. Here we have studied the novel anti-pan-B-cell Pax-5 diagnostic pathology. encodes BSAP (Pax-5), B-cell-specific transcription factor, expression which detectable early pro-B-cell stage subsequently all further stages development until plasma cell where...

Few studies describe the comprehensive immunophenotypic pattern of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) in bone marrow and its treatment. This retrospective analysis evaluates diagnostic flow cytometry (FCM) outcome nine patients diagnosed with BPDCN.

Immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical assays are highly complex diagnostic analyses used to aid in the accurate identification biologic characterization of tissue types neoplastic nonneoplastic diseases. tests applied mainly diagnosis neoplasms. Some immunohistochemical provide information important prognostic predictive value selected human neoplasms and, as such, often critical for appropriate effective treatment patients.
