Comparison of histopathology to gene expression profiling for the diagnosis of metastatic cancer
21 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Determining the primary site of metastatic cancer with confidence can be challenging. Pathologists commonly use a battery of immunohistochemical (IHC) stains to determine the primary site. Gene expression profiling (GEP) has found increasing use, particularly in the most difficult cases. In this pilot study, a direct comparison between GEP and IHC-guided methods was performed. METHODS: Ten archived...
