Current practical applications of diagnostic immunohistochemistry in breast pathology

The American Journal of Surgical Pathology

Abstract

In recent years, immunohistochemistry has assumed an increasingly prominent role in diagnostic breast pathology. Immunohistochemistry is now frequently used in the evaluation of many epithelial proliferations of the breast. Common applications include the use of myoepithelial markers to evaluate for stromal invasion, E-cadherin to distinguish between ductal and lobular neoplasia, high molecular weight cytokeratins to differentiate usual ductal hyperplasia from ductal carcinoma in situ, immunohistochemical profiles to characterize site of origin of metastatic carcinomas, and cytokeratin stains to detect metastases in sentinel lymph nodes. Recent advances, practical considerations, and potential pitfalls in the use of immunohistochemistry in these five diagnostic categories are discussed herein.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.

Carcinoma, Ductal

Ductal carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm involving the ductal systems of any of a number of organs, such as the mammary glands, pancreas, prostate or lacrimal gland. Discover the latest research on ductal carcinoma here.
