Background

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive urinary tract carcinomas (UTCas) have distinct morphology and molecular features with potential treatment implications. Cytomorphologic analysis of these tumors on urine cytology specimens has not yet been reported. The authors evaluated the cytomorphologic findings of HPV-positive UTCa on urine cytology using The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology (TPS) criteria.

Methods

HPV-positive cases were identified by a retrospective review of surgical specimens that had UTCa confirmed by HPV in situ hybridization. Cases that had concurrent urine cytology were reviewed using TPS. Cytomorphologic features of high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) were evaluated as well as the presence of atypical squamous cells (ASCs) and basaloid features.

Results

Sixteen cytology specimens from eight patients with HPV-positive UTCa were included. On original diagnosis, none of the cytology specimens were suggested to be HPV-associated. TPS diagnostic criteria identified eight cases with at least atypical findings, including five HGUC cases, one case that was suspicious for HGUC, and two atypical urothelial cases. Common cytomorphologic features included basaloid clusters (six of eight cases; 75%) and ASCs (four of eight cases; 50%) that matched the corresponding surgical specimens. Most cases exhibited urothelial cell hyperchromasia (seven of eight cases; 88%), and hypochromasia was a frequently observed variant (four of eight cases; 50%), either alone or in addition to hyperchromasia.

Conclusions

HPV-positive UTCa can be identified reliably as HGUC by using TPS criteria; however, these cases may not be recognized as HPV-associated. The presence of basaloid cells or ASCs can help suggest screening for HPV in urine specimens. Larger scale studies are warranted to validate cytomorphologic differences and determine the impact of HPV infection on clinical outcomes for patients with UTCa.

背景:人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)阳性尿路癌(UTCas)具有独特的形态和分子特征,对治疗有潜在影响。尿液细胞学标本上的细胞形态学分析尚未见报道。作者采用巴黎尿液细胞学报告系统(TPS)标准评估了尿液细胞学中 HPV 阳性 UTCa 的细胞形态学结果。使用 TPS 对同时进行尿液细胞学检查的病例进行复查。对高级别尿路上皮癌(HGUC)的细胞形态学特征以及非典型鳞状细胞(ASC)和基底细胞特征进行了评估:结果:共纳入了8名HPV阳性UTCa患者的16份细胞学标本。在最初诊断时,没有一份细胞学标本被认为与 HPV 相关。TPS诊断标准确定了8例至少有非典型发现的病例,包括5例HGUC病例、1例疑似HGUC病例和2例非典型尿路上皮病例。常见的细胞形态学特征包括基底簇(8 例中的 6 例;75%)和 ASCs(8 例中的 4 例;50%),与相应的手术标本相符。大多数病例表现为尿路细胞色素沉着(8 例中的 7 例;88%),低色素沉着是一种经常观察到的变异(8 例中的 4 例;50%),可单独存在或与色素沉着同时存在:结论:HPV 阳性 UTCa 可以通过 TPS 标准可靠地识别为 HGUC;但是,这些病例可能无法识别为 HPV 相关病例。基底细胞或ASCs的存在有助于建议对尿液标本进行HPV筛查。有必要进行更大规模的研究,以验证细胞形态学上的差异,并确定 HPV 感染对UTCa 患者临床预后的影响。

Background

Metastatic breast cancers are frequently encountered in cytology and require immunocytochemistry (ICC). In this study, traditional and multiplex ICC (mICC) for GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3), gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 (GCDFP15), and mammaglobin (MMG) were performed with the aim of validating mICC in cell blocks, with further single-cell expression pattern analysis to identify the single markers and combinations of markers most sensitive in subtypes of breast cancer.

Methods

GATA3, GCDFP15, and MMG were paired with OptiView 3,3′-diaminobenzidine and Ventana DISCOVERY Purple and Blue, respectively, with cyclical and serial staining. Bright-field imaging was performed with the Mantra 2 system and analyzed with the inForm Tissue Finder (Akoya Biosciences). Cell detection and phenotyping were further confirmed by two pathologists.

Results

In the 36 cases studied, traditional ICC and mICC demonstrated good concordance (kappa coefficient, >0.5; p < .01) at three cutoffs (1%, 5%, and 50%), except for GATA3 at the 1% cutoff. Single-marker positivity outnumbered double-marker positivity and the exceedingly rare triple-marker positivity (<3%). GATA3 was the leading single marker–positive phenotype in all breast cancer subtypes, except for MMG in estrogen receptor–positive, progesterone receptor–positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive (ER+/PR+/HER2+) breast cancers. Limited to two markers, GATA3/MMG included the greatest number of tumor cells for luminal breast cancers (ER+/PR+/HER2+, 60.6%; ER+/PR+/HER2+, 31.4%), whereas HER2-overexpressed breast cancers (27.4%) and triple-negative breast cancers (26.4%) favored the combination of GATA3/GCDFP15.

Conclusions

For a single marker, GATA3 displayed the highest sensitivity. The addition of MMG for hormone receptor-positive breast cancers and GCDFP15 for hormone receptor-negative breast cancers further increased sensitivity. The low proportion of multimarker-positive cells suggested that the coexpression observed with traditional ICC is attributable to intratumoral heterogeneity, not genuine coexpression.

背景:转移性乳腺癌经常在细胞学检查中遇到,需要进行免疫细胞化学(ICC)检查。本研究对 GATA 结合蛋白 3 (GATA3)、毛囊性疾病液蛋白 15 (GCDFP15) 和乳腺球蛋白 (MMG) 进行了传统和多重 ICC (mICC),目的是验证细胞块中的 mICC,并进一步进行单细胞表达模式分析,以确定对乳腺癌亚型最敏感的单一标记物和标记物组合:GATA3、GCDFP15和MMG分别与OptiView 3,3'-二氨基联苯胺和Ventana DISCOVERY Purple和Blue配对,进行周期性和连续染色。使用 Mantra 2 系统进行明视野成像,并使用 inForm Tissue Finder(Akoya Biosciences)进行分析。细胞检测和表型由两名病理学家进一步确认:在研究的 36 个病例中,传统的 ICC 和 mICC 显示出良好的一致性(卡帕系数大于 0.5;P 结论:传统的 ICC 和 mICC 的结果一致:就单一标记物而言,GATA3 的灵敏度最高。在激素受体阳性乳腺癌中加入 MMG,在激素受体阴性乳腺癌中加入 GCDFP15,可进一步提高灵敏度。多标志物阳性细胞比例较低,这表明传统 ICC 观察到的共表达是由于瘤内异质性造成的,而不是真正的共表达。

Background

The objective of this study was to elucidate the frequency and cytologic features of positive peritoneal washing cytology (PWC) in cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) and to clarify the clinical significance of positive PWC.

Methods

The authors analyzed cases from their institution between 1991 and 2023 in which patients underwent surgery and PWC. The study included 62 patients who had cervical GAS (1991–2023; including seven patients with adenocarcinoma in situ and 26, 15, nine, and five patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 stage I, II, III, and IV disease, respectively) and 100 patients who had usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (2007–2023; including 65, 15, and 20 patients with stage I, II, and III disease, respectively). The frequency of positive PWC results and cytologic features was assessed, and correlations between positive PWC results and clinicopathologic factors were examined, including prognosis, in the GAS group.

Results

Positive PWC results were significantly more frequent in patients who had GAS at 24% (15 of 62 patients) compared with 7% (seven of 100 patients) in those who had usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma. The cytologic features of GAS included distinct cellular atypia (enlarged nuclei, nuclear irregularity) and frequent formation of spherical clusters (10 of 15 cases) without the golden-yellowish mucus commonly seen in cervical smears. A positive PWC result in GAS was significantly correlated with larger tumor size, parametrium invasion, lymph node metastasis, and elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels. In patients with stage I GAS, the PWC-positive group had significantly shorter disease-free survival and overall survival compared with the PWC-negative group.

Conclusions

Positive PWC findings are frequent in cervical GAS and are associated with pathologic factors indicative of tumor growth and progression. In patients who have stage I GAS, positive PWC results may indicate a poor prognosis, warranting further investigation.

研究背景本研究旨在阐明宫颈胃型腺癌(GAS)腹膜冲洗细胞学(PWC)阳性的频率和细胞学特征,并明确PWC阳性的临床意义:作者分析了其所在机构在 1991 年至 2023 年期间接受手术和 PWC 的病例。研究纳入了 62 例宫颈 GAS 患者(1991-2023 年;包括 7 例原位腺癌患者和 26 例、15 例、9 例和 5 例国际妇产科联盟 2018 年 I、II、III 和 IV 期疾病患者)和 100 例普通型宫颈内膜腺癌患者(2007-2023 年;包括 65 例、15 例和 20 例 I、II 和 III 期疾病患者)。评估了PWC阳性结果的频率和细胞学特征,并研究了GAS组中PWC阳性结果与临床病理因素(包括预后)之间的相关性:结果:PWC阳性结果在GAS患者中的出现率明显更高,为24%(62例患者中的15例),而在普通型宫颈内膜腺癌患者中仅为7%(100例患者中的7例)。GAS 的细胞学特征包括明显的细胞不典型性(核增大、核不规则)和经常形成球形团块(15 例中有 10 例),而没有宫颈涂片中常见的金黄色粘液。GAS 患者的 PWC 阳性结果与肿瘤体积增大、宫旁侵犯、淋巴结转移和碳水化合物抗原 19-9 水平升高有显著相关性。在 I 期 GAS 患者中,PWC 阳性组的无病生存期和总生存期明显短于 PWC 阴性组:结论:PWC 阳性结果在宫颈 GAS 中很常见,并且与表明肿瘤生长和进展的病理因素相关。对于 I 期 GAS 患者,PWC 阳性结果可能预示着不良预后,值得进一步研究。

<p>Some online articles have suggested, without evidence, that high-dose infusions of vitamin C can cure cancer. Others have promised, falsely, that baking soda can cure prostate cancer or that cannabis oil can cure breast or lung cancer. Well before ivermectin was infamously touted as an (ineffective) intervention for the coronavirus disease 2019, a podcast wrongly asserted that the antiparasitic medication offered a cancer cure.</p><p>Experts have long warned of the noxious effects of online misinformation aimed at swaying elections and public opinion. The swirl of misinformation around cancer treatment and prevention may be less well studied, but researchers have begun raising alarms about the considerable harm that can come from advice that is, in some cases, literally toxic.</p><p>Skyler Johnson, MD, an assistant professor of radiation oncology at the University of Utah’s Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, experienced the phenomenon firsthand when his wife was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 while he was still in medical school. The couple encountered so many fact-free claims and false assertions online that Dr Johnson decided to study the effects of this flood of bad advice. Even after his wife was declared cancer-free, he realized that such misinformation, even from well-meaning friends and relatives, can lead to serious and avoidable harm.</p><p>Most disturbingly, he discovered, it can kill. In a highly cited study, Dr Johnson and his colleagues found that patients who relied entirely on unproven alternative cancer therapies were significantly more likely to die within 5 years than patients who used conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and surgery.<span><sup>1</sup></span> For a subset of patients with breast or colorectal cancer who used alternative medicine, the mortality risk jumped roughly 5-fold. No matter how advanced cancer treatments might be, he says, “if patients aren’t willing to take those treatments, then we’ve done no good.”</p><p>When she read Dr Johnson’s study, Briony Swire-Thompson, PhD, director of the Psychology of Misinformation Lab in the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, had an epiphany.

一些网络文章在没有证据的情况下暗示,大剂量输注维生素 C 可以治疗癌症。还有人虚假地承诺,小苏打可以治疗前列腺癌,大麻油可以治疗乳腺癌或肺癌。早在伊维菌素被臭名昭著地吹捧为治疗 2019 年冠状病毒病(无效)的干预措施之前,一个播客就错误地断言这种抗寄生虫药物可以治疗癌症。位于盐湖城的犹他大学亨茨曼癌症研究所放射肿瘤学助理教授、医学博士斯凯勒-约翰逊(Skyler Johnson)在 2011 年妻子被诊断出患有癌症时亲身经历了这一现象,当时他还在医学院就读。这对夫妇在网上遇到了太多不符合事实的说法和虚假断言,因此约翰逊博士决定研究这些不良建议的影响。即使在他的妻子被宣布没有癌症之后,他也意识到,即使是善意的朋友和亲戚提供的这些错误信息,也会导致严重的、可以避免的伤害。在一项被广泛引用的研究中,约翰逊博士和他的同事发现,完全依赖未经证实的癌症替代疗法的患者在 5 年内死亡的几率明显高于使用常规疗法(如化疗、放疗、免疫疗法和手术)的患者1。他说,无论癌症治疗方法多么先进,"如果患者不愿意接受这些治疗,那么我们就没有做好任何事情。"当读到约翰逊博士的研究报告时,马萨诸塞州波士顿东北大学网络科学研究所误导心理学实验室主任布里奥妮-斯维尔-汤普森(Briony Swire-Thompson)博士恍然大悟。这位认知心理学家以前曾研究过一般和政治误导信息,但她马上就明白了癌症误导信息所带来的独特挑战。"斯维尔-汤普森博士认为,误导信息是所有虚假信息的总称,而虚假信息则是故意传播的虚假信息的子集。她指出,伴随癌症诊断而来的高度焦虑,加上认知疲劳以及对化疗、放疗或手术副作用的恐惧,会让患者更容易受到骗子的欺骗,从而在经济上获利。她说:"人们愿意花很多钱,这是可以理解的。"约翰逊博士设计了一个有用的首字母缩写词来记住这些有害的错误信息的主要特征:约翰逊博士设计了一个有用的缩写词来记住这些有害的错误信息的主要特征:CRAP(阴谋、请求、轶事和出版商)。这些信息来源经常引用阴谋论或可疑的说法,经常要求为产品或信息付费,使用轶事而不是数据来支持他们的说法,出版商的可疑网站经常以 .com 结尾,而不是 .org 或 .edu。其中一种形式的错误信息是利用人们的恐惧和焦虑,迫使人们放弃常规治疗。"他们会把化疗、手术和放疗说成是'毒药'、'割伤'和'烧伤',他们会用这些词来告诉人们避免这些治疗,"他说。另一种形式则是将人们推向替代疗法。约翰逊博士说,强调 "打破常规 "或标新立异的方法,会让患者觉得自己掌握了一种独特的、新兴的解决方案的内幕知识。约翰逊博士回忆说,她的一位亲密同事被诊断出患有乳腺癌,并在社交媒体上发布了相关信息。盖恩斯维尔佛罗里达大学健康结果和生物医学信息学教授卡玛-比伦德(Carma Bylund)博士认为,以这样或那样的形式出现在社交媒体上是非常普遍的。她的研究小组的一项新分析估计,93% 的癌症患者都曾接触过错误信息。"我们需要弄清楚的不仅仅是他们接触过这些信息,而是他们对这些信息的相信程度。"比伦德博士正在与约翰逊博士合作,研究肿瘤学家如何才能最好地应对这些癌症误导信息。他们发现,网上不乏这样的信息。

Background

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Screening high-risk populations for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduces lung cancer mortality. Bronchoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to monitor patients suspected of having lung cancer after LDCT. Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) can improve the diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), although its diagnostic value remains unclear. In this meta-analysis, the authors evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ROSE during bronchoscopy.

Methods

The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of ROSE for lung cancer during bronchoscopy. Studies evaluating the performance of ROSE and articles providing sufficient data for constructing a 2 × 2 table on a per-lesion basis were included. A meta-analysis was conducted using a bivariate random-effects model.

Results

In total, 32 studies involving 8243 lung lesions were included with a pooled sensitivity of 91.8% and a pooled specificity of 94.9%. Subgroup analysis of 12 studies involving 2929 specimens from patients who underwent computed tomography revealed a pooled sensitivity of 93.8% and a pooled specificity of 96%. Further subgroup analysis of seven studies on the diagnostic outcomes of ROSE for intrathoracic or mediastinal lymph nodes through EBUS-TBNA for lung cancer staging revealed a pooled sensitivity of 90.1% and a pooled specificity of 96.9%.

Conclusions

ROSE exhibited high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing lung cancer during bronchoscopy. It also exhibited high sensitivity in detecting lung cancer in patients undergoing LDCT and higher specificity for nodal staging with EBUS-TBNA.

肺癌是全球癌症相关死亡的首要原因。使用低剂量计算机断层扫描(LDCT)对高风险人群进行肺癌筛查可降低肺癌死亡率。支气管镜检查是用于监测低剂量计算机断层扫描后疑似肺癌患者的诊断程序。快速现场评估(ROSE)可提高支气管内超声引导下经支气管针吸术(EBUS-TBNA)的诊断准确性,但其诊断价值仍不明确。在这项荟萃分析中,作者评估了支气管镜检查期间 ROSE 的诊断准确性。

Background

ThyroSeq offers the opportunity to stratify the risk of malignancy (ROM) in the characterization of indeterminate thyroid nodules, especially those categorized as atypia of undetermined significance (AUS). However, whether ThyroSeq interpretations correlate with cytologic features, management, and surgical outcome remains unclear.

Methods

Thyroid fine-needle aspiration specimens categorized as AUS and follicular neoplasm (FN) from 2017 to 2021 were identified from a cytology database search. Patient clinical information and ThyroSeq results were collected and correlated with resection diagnosis if available.

Results

A total of 520 cases were classified as AUS and 111 cases were classified as FN. Within the AUS lesions, 190 cases (36.5%) were subcategorized as cytologic atypia (III-C), 109 cases (21.0%) as architectural atypia (III-A), 138 cases (26.5%) as both cytologic and architectural atypia (III-CA), and 69 cases (13.0%) as oncocytic cell aspirate (III-O). Category III-C showed the highest malignancy rate (16.7%; p = .29), and a higher ThyroSeq-defined probability of cancer or noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features. Notably, within III-C, intermediate-risk mutations led to a significantly higher malignancy rate (46.7%; p = .0012). Conversely, III-A had the lowest malignancy rate (9.7%) but this was significantly increased by concurrent high-risk mutations (62.5%). BRAFV600E-like mutations were frequently associated with III-C and classical papillary thyroid carcinoma in histology. RAS-like mutations were the most common alterations across all subcategories, and were frequently associated with follicular-patterned lesions.

Conclusions

Atypia subcategories have differential ThyroSeq-defined ROMs and histologic outcomes. Combining atypia subcategory interpretation, ThyroSeq-defined ROMs and molecular results aids in optimal clinical management for indeterminate thyroid lesions.

ThyroSeq提供了对不确定甲状腺结节,尤其是那些被归类为意义未定的不典型结节(AUS)进行恶性风险分层(ROM)的机会。然而,ThyroSeq的解释是否与细胞学特征、管理和手术结果相关仍不清楚。

Background

Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome 1 (TRPS1) expression in primary breast and other solid tumors has been investigated but its role as a marker in metastatic tumors is unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of TRPS1 as a breast cancer immunomarker in metastatic tumors that originated from breast, Müllerian, lung, gastrointestinal (GI), and pancreatic primary tumors with cell blocks from fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and effusion specimens.

Methods

Cell blocks were immunostained with anti-TRPS1 monoclonal antibody (clone EPR16171). Histochemical scores (H scores) (proportion × intensity; range, 0–300) were assigned; H scores of ≥10 were considered positive. Overall, 160 specimens were examined, including 127 FNAs (35 breast, 25 Müllerian, 36 lung, and 31 GI and pancreatic carcinomas) and 33 effusion specimens (18 breast, 12 Müllerian, one lung, and two GI carcinomas).

Results

TRPS1 was positive in 51 of 53 (96%) metastatic breast carcinomas and in 28 of 107 (26.2%) nonbreast metastatic tumors. Metastatic breast carcinoma showed the highest mean H score of 247.35, compared to 45.36 in Müllerian, 8.4 in lung, and 5.88 in GI tumors. The sensitivity and specificity of TRPS1 for identifying a breast origin in metastatic tumors was 96.22% and 72.89%, respectively.

Conclusions

Despite high overall sensitivity, TRPS1 showed lower specificity as a breast immunomarker because of its expression in nonbreast tumors. The mean H score in nonbreast tumors was significantly lower than in metastatic breast tumors. It is important to recognize the broad range of expression of TRPS1 in metastatic breast and nonbreast tumors to avoid an incorrect determination of a metastatic tumor’s organ of origin.

背景已经对原发性乳腺癌和其他实体瘤中三尖瓣综合征 1(TRPS1)的表达进行了研究,但其作为转移性肿瘤标志物的作用尚不清楚。本研究的目的是评估 TRPS1 作为乳腺癌免疫标记物的敏感性和特异性,这些转移瘤来源于乳腺、缪勒氏、肺、胃肠道(GI)和胰腺原发性肿瘤的细针穿刺(FNA)和渗出标本的细胞块。进行组织化学评分(H 评分)(比例×强度;范围 0-300);H 评分≥10 为阳性。总共检查了 160 份标本,包括 127 份 FNA(35 份乳腺癌、25 份缪勒氏癌、36 份肺癌、31 份消化道和胰腺癌)和 33 份渗出标本(18 份乳腺癌、12 份缪勒氏癌、1 份肺癌、2 份消化道癌)。转移性乳腺癌的平均 H 评分最高,为 247.35 分,而穆勒氏癌为 45.36 分,肺癌为 8.4 分,消化道肿瘤为 5.88 分。结论尽管总体灵敏度较高,但 TRPS1 作为乳腺免疫标志物的特异性较低,因为它在非乳腺肿瘤中也有表达。非乳腺肿瘤的平均 H 评分明显低于转移性乳腺肿瘤。认识到TRPS1在转移性乳腺肿瘤和非乳腺肿瘤中的广泛表达非常重要,以避免错误判断转移性肿瘤的来源器官。

Introduction

Thyroid cytopathology cases with suspicious for malignancy (SFM) diagnosis often result in resection. However, molecular testing offers details that may provide additional insights. In this study, the molecular profiles of SFM cases from two institutions that routinely used ThyroSeq v3 (TSV3) were examined.

Materials and Methods

Following institutional review board approval, SFM thyroid cytopathology cases with TSV3 results were retrieved from the databases of two institutions. Molecular information including molecular-derived risk of malignancy (MDROM), cytologic-histologic correlation data, and other related parameters were calculated. Statistical comparisons were made with a p <.05 considered significant.

Results

The core data set comprised 114 SFM cases that passed TSV3 quality assurance. All TSV3 results were reported as positive or negative for genomic alterations and all except five cases provided a probability of malignancy estimate. The overall combined baseline MDROM of 75.7% (95% CI, 70.0–81.4) was comparable to the risk of malignancy (74%) published in the Bethesda System. There was a statistically significant difference between the combined MDROMs of resected and unresected cohorts (79.0% vs 58.6%; p = .0153). Interestingly, the MDROMs of the resected cohorts from the two institutions were statistically different (75.0% vs 85.3%; p = .020). Cytologic–histologic correlation revealed malignant outcome in 88.5% of resected cases.

Conclusions

Molecular analyses of SFM cases demonstrated higher risk genomic alterations that were associated with histologically overt neoplasms, resulting in increased malignancy outcome compared to baseline. MDROM analysis revealed differences in the cytopathologic practice patterns regarding follicular-patterned neoplasms at the two institutions.

导言:甲状腺细胞病理学病例被诊断为可疑恶性肿瘤(SFM)后,通常会进行切除手术。然而,分子检测提供的细节可能会带来更多的启示。本研究对两家常规使用ThyroSeq v3(TSV3)的机构的SFM病例的分子图谱进行了研究。材料与方法经机构审查委员会批准后,从两家机构的数据库中检索了有TSV3结果的SFM甲状腺细胞病理学病例。计算包括恶性肿瘤分子衍生风险(MDROM)在内的分子信息、细胞学与组织学相关数据以及其他相关参数。结果核心数据集包括 114 个通过 TSV3 质量保证的 SFM 病例。所有 TSV3 结果均报告为基因组改变的阳性或阴性,除 5 例病例外,其他病例均提供了恶性肿瘤的概率估计。总体合并基线 MDROM 为 75.7%(95% CI,70.0-81.4),与 Bethesda 系统公布的恶性肿瘤风险(74%)相当。切除组和未切除组的合并 MDROMs 有显著统计学差异(79.0% vs 58.6%; p = .0153)。有趣的是,两家机构切除组的 MDROMs 也有统计学差异(75.0% vs 85.3%; p = .020)。细胞学-组织学相关性显示,88.5%的切除病例有恶性结果。结论 对SFM病例的分子分析表明,高风险基因组改变与组织学上明显的肿瘤相关,导致恶性结果较基线增加。MDROM分析表明,两家机构对滤泡型肿瘤的细胞病理学实践模式存在差异。
