Abstract:
:Ki-67 (MIB-1) immunostaining to quantify the proliferative index of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has been recommended (especially for small biopsies). However, this has a number of challenges with nonrepresentative Ki-67 index due to interference by Ki-67 immunoreactive proliferating lymphocytes infiltrating the tumor and also some proliferating stromal cells including endothelial cells in the background. Our pilot project showed that dual-color immunostaining with inclusion of leukocyte common antigen (LCA) (Ki-67: nuclear brown; LCA: cytoplasmic red) can facilitate the weeding out of lymphocyte interference. We analyzed the results with 23 surgical cases of pancreatic NETs. This was followed by poststudy examination of 11 cases of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of the pancreatic NETs (PanNETs) to evaluate the findings of the study. Dual-color immunostaining for Ki-67 with LCA increased the precision of quantifying Ki-67 index, due to ability to exclude LCA immunoreactive lymphocytes. Other nontumor Ki-67 immunoreactive cells such as endothelial and stromal cells could be distinguished morphologically. Digital methods were also attempted, but this approach could not distinguish infiltrating lymphocytes and other cells in sections resulting in erroneous results. This study demonstrated that grading of PanNET can be performed with increased precision with dual-color Ki-67 immunostaining protocol standardized in this study. As evaluated on a few cytopathology cases, this protocol is especially useful for the evaluation of small biopsies and cell block sections of fine-needle aspiration biopsy material where 50 high-power fields cannot be evaluated but have >500 tumor cell nuclei.
