Erratum: Correction of Acknowledgments. ERG Immunohistochemistry as an Endothelial Marker for Assessing Lymphovascular Invasion
BACKGROUND ERG, a member of the ETS family of transcription factors, is a highly specific endothelial marker. We investigated whether the use of ERG immunostaining can help pathologists detect lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and decrease interobserver variability in LVI diagnosis. METHODS Fifteen cases of surgically resected colorectal cancers with hepatic metastasis were selected and the most ...
متن کاملD2-40, a novel lymphatic endothelial marker: identification of lymphovascular invasion and relationship with axillary metastases in breast cancer
Background: Studies of lymphatic vessels were limited by the lack of specific markers. Recently, they have become possible due to the release of new D2-40 antibody, a selective marker for lymphatic endothelium. The aim of our study was to compare neoplastic invasion in lymphatic and blood vessels detected in hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemistry-stained sections. Methodology: A t...
متن کاملDetection of tumour lymphovascular space invasion using dual cytokeratin and CD31 immunohistochemistry.
BACKGROUND Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is an important step in the complex process of tumour metastasis. Various methods have been used in the past to improve the histological detection of LVSI. AIMS To develop a sensitive immunohistochemical method for the detection of LVSI. METHODS Paraffin wax blocks from 108 patients who had undergone hysterectomy for stage I endometrial cancer...
متن کاملERG Rearrangement as a Clonal Expansion Marker for Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed neoplasia and the second most frequent cause of cancer specific death in men in the western civilization. The recent discovery and subsequent characterization of recurrent gene rearrangements of ETS genes – most frequently ERG in the majority of prostate cancers is a milestone in translational prostate cancer research. In this review we summarize t...
متن کاملLymphovascular invasion in colorectal cancer: an interobserver variability study.
BACKGROUND Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered a strong stage-independent prognostic factor and influences decisions regarding adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage II tumors. However, the degree of interobserver agreement among pathologists for LVI in CRC is largely unknown. This study was undertaken to examine such interobserver variability, and we hy...
