Subtyping of Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma into Adenocarcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Cytological Structural Features.
Introduction: This study aimed to clarify the diagnostic structural features in cytology specimens that are useful in subtyping non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) into adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC).
Methods: Cytology specimens (n = 233) of NSCLCs, which included ADCs (n = 149) and SQCCs (n = 84), were analyzed. The following cytological features were evaluated: isolated cell, flat sheet, three-dimensional cluster with irregular arrangement, papillary-like structure, micropapillary-like structure, acinar-like structure, palisading pattern, protrusion of nuclei at the periphery of the cluster, honeycomb pattern, streaming arrangement, three-dimensional sheets with regular arrangement, flattening at the periphery of the cluster, fuzzy pattern at the periphery of the cluster, and mutual inclusion.
Results: ADCs exhibited significantly higher frequencies of flat sheet (p < 0.001), papillary-like structure (p < 0.001), micropapillary-like structure (p = 0.028), acinar-like structure (p < 0.001), and protrusion of nuclei at the periphery of the cluster (p < 0.001) than SQCCs. The latter exhibited significantly higher frequencies of streaming arrangement (p < 0.001), three-dimensional sheets with regular arrangement (p < 0.001), flattening at the periphery of the cluster (p < 0.001), fuzzy pattern at the periphery of the cluster (p < 0.001), and mutual inclusion (p < 0.001) than ADCs.
Discussion: Cytological structural features, such as flat sheet, papillary-like structure, micropapillary-like structure, acinar-like structure, and protrusion of nuclei at the periphery of the cluster, indicated ADC, whereas streaming arrangement, three-dimensional sheets with regular arrangement, flattening at the periphery of the cluster, fuzzy pattern at the periphery of the cluster, and mutual inclusion indicated SQCC. Paying attention to these cytological structural features can enable the accurate subtyping of NSCLC into ADC and SQCC.
期刊介绍:
With articles offering an excellent balance between clinical cytology and cytopathology, ''Acta Cytologica'' fosters the understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms behind cytomorphology and thus facilitates the translation of frontline research into clinical practice. As the official journal of the International Academy of Cytology and affiliated to over 50 national cytology societies around the world, ''Acta Cytologica'' evaluates new and existing diagnostic applications of scientific advances as well as their clinical correlations. Original papers, review articles, meta-analyses, novel insights from clinical practice, and letters to the editor cover topics from diagnostic cytopathology, gynecologic and non-gynecologic cytopathology to fine needle aspiration, molecular techniques and their diagnostic applications. As the perfect reference for practical use, ''Acta Cytologica'' addresses a multidisciplinary audience practicing clinical cytopathology, cell biology, oncology, interventional radiology, otorhinolaryngology, gastroenterology, urology, pulmonology and preventive medicine.
