异质性影响癌症的免疫组化结果

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 29 Jun 2017
许多胃癌(GC)患者的病灶不可切除,内镜活检成为获得人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)评估用肿瘤组织的唯一可用方法。与切除的标本不同,活检标本受到许多因素的影响,反过来更难操作。
有几种方法可用于HER2状态评估,包括免疫组化(IHC)、荧光原位杂交(FISH)和银原位杂交(SISH)。其中,IHC代表了一种有效稳健的检测方法,可用于大多数标本。胃癌(GC)活检标本的HER2评估面临挑战,因为具有肿瘤内异质性。可能出现假阴性结果,因为活检材料有限。
复旦大学(中国上海)的病理学家收集了890份活检标本和459份配对切除标本,这些患者在2013年3月至2014年1月间经内镜活检标本确诊有胃腺癌。对HER2进行IHC染色。根据肿瘤包含片段数量、活检标本数量、肿瘤包含片段的平均大小和肿瘤组织比例,比较HER2 IHC阳性(评分3+)率。基于肿瘤片段数量分析活检标本与切除标本的阳性预测值。
科学家使用一种HER-2/neu家兔单克隆抗体(Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.,Tucson,AZ USA),使用Ventana的iView DAB检测试剂盒,在其BenchMark XT自动染色仪上对所有样本进行IHC染色。对于每个样本检测,以来自小片GC组织中的同一切片上,HER2评分为3+和0的部位分别作为阳性和阴性对照。由两名经验丰富的胃肠道病理学家查看所有标本的苏木和伊红(HE)染色切片,确证诊断结果。
该团队发现110名患者(11.2%)为HER2 IHC阳性(评分为3+),261名患者(29.3%)为HER2不明确(评分为2+)。其余529个标本被分类为HER2 IHC阴性(59.5%),包括289份标本评分为1+(32.5%),240份标本评分为0(27.0%)。HER2 IHC阳性(评分3+)患者中,74份标本为肠型GC(74.0%),10份为弥漫型GC(10.0%),其余16份属于混合型(16.0%)。肿瘤片段数为1、2、3、4、5和6个时,HER2 IHC阳性率为2.0%、3.5%、7.0%、13.2%、17.1%和15.9%。HER2 IHC阳性率与活检数量、肿瘤片段平均大小和肿瘤片段的肿瘤组织比例不直接相关。
作者们得出结论,含肿瘤片段数量影响内窥镜活检标本的HER2 IHC阳性(评分3+)率。肿瘤片段数量大于或等于4个给出更好的HER2 IHC阳性检测结果,在预测切除标本的HER2状态时性能更好。本研究已发表于2017年5月26日刊的Diagnostic Pathology(诊断病理学)杂志。
