Abstract:
Objective To explore the optimal immunohistochemical (IHC)diagnostic index for supraclavicular lymph node me-tastasis in lung cancer.Methods In the premise of conforming to the evidence-based medicine,the biopsy of lymph node in 135 pa-tients with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis was performed and 7 antibodies were selected to be detected.135 cases were di-vided into two classes:class A (110 cases)and B (25 cases).The class A included 14 cases of primary lesion inside the lung by the histological analysis,43 cases of primary lesion inside the lung by the cytological detection and 53.cases of primary lesion inside the lung by the radiographic analysis.The class B included 25 cases of lesion outside the lung by the histological analysis.The detecting antibodies included CK7,CK20,EMA,CEA,TTF-1,SPB and vimentin.Results The sensitivity and specificity of single antibody for deducing the primary lesion inside the lung were 90.0% and 56.0% for CK7,98.0% and 40.0% for CK20,90.9% and 4.0%for EMA,80.9% and 36.0% for CEA,62.7% and 100.0% for TTF-1,65.6% and 100.0% for SPB,and 60.9% and 60.0% for vimentin.The quadruple antibodies (CK7,CK20,TTF-1 and SPB)showed the highest sensitivity(85.0%)and highest specificity (100.0%),which made the relatively high detection rate (80.0%)of lung cancer in clinic.Conclusion Analyzing and researching the IMC results is of great significance to guide the surgical pathological practice based on the evidence-based medicine.
