ABSTRACT: Background
Pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma (PEAC), a rare type of non-small cell lung cancer, has similar histological and immunohistochemical morphology to colorectal adenocarcinoma. Cadherin-17 (CDH17) and SATB homeobox 2 (SATB2) immunoexpression have recently been demonstrated in colorectal adenocarcinoma. In this study, we evaluated the value of CDH17 and SATB2 in the diagnosis of pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.Methods
A total of 13 PEAC cases and 27 metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma cases were enrolled in our cohort study. We analyzed the expressions of CK7, CK20, CDX-2, villin, cadherin-17 (CDH17), and SATB homeobox 2 (SATB2) using immunohistochemistry. Staining intensity and percentage of positive-staining cells were recorded. Sensitivity and specificity values for immunostains, individually and in combination, were computed and compared.Results
Combining CDH17 and SATB2 resulted in high sensitivity (76.92%) and specificity (100%). In our study, the use of CK7+, napsin A+, TTF-1+, napsin A+TTF-1+ in combination with CDH17-/SATB2- had a higher area under the curve compared to the combination CDH17-/SATB2-. However, no significant differences were observed between the combination CDH17-/SATB2- and other combinations (P>0.05).Conclusions
In combination, CDH17 and SATB2 serve as potential optimal markers for the differential diagnosis of PEAC and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.
