Abstract
Background
Reliably distinguishing primary ovarian mucinous neoplasms (POMNs) from metastatic colorectal cancers (CRCs) is both challenging to the histopathologist and of great clinical importance. Special AT-rich sequence binding protein-2 (SATB2) has emerged as a useful diagnostic immunohistochemical marker of colorectal cancer. This meta-analysis compares SATB2 expression in POMNs and CRC.
Methods
A systematic literature search for relevant studies was conducted. Meta-analysis of SATB2 positivity was undertaken using a random effects model.
Results
Seven studies including 711 CRCs and 528 POMNs were included. SATB2 positivity was seen in 81 % (95 % CI: 72–88 %) of CRCs and 4 % (95 % CI: 1–11 %) of POMNs. Variation was seen in immunohistochemical methods used for SATB2 detection and threshold for positivity.
Conclusion
SATB2 staining remains high in CRC and low in POMNs, supporting its use in differentiating these two pathologies with vastly differing prognosis and treatment.
期刊介绍:
A peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of articles dealing with traditional morphologic studies using standard diagnostic techniques and stressing clinicopathological correlations and scientific observation of relevance to the daily practice of pathology. Special features include pathologic-radiologic correlations and pathologic-cytologic correlations.
