Abstract
Accurate diagnosis of metastatic breast carcinoma is essential for effective clinical management. Immunohistochemistry plays a pivotal role in confirming or excluding a breast origin. In this review, we discuss both traditional and newly identified breast cancer markers, with a particular focus on studies related to TRPS1, and share our experience in applying this marker. Additionally, we explore the challenges associated with using these markers to differentiate metastatic breast cancer from malignancies of other origins.
期刊介绍:
Human Pathology is designed to bring information of clinicopathologic significance to human disease to the laboratory and clinical physician. It presents information drawn from morphologic and clinical laboratory studies with direct relevance to the understanding of human diseases. Papers published concern morphologic and clinicopathologic observations, reviews of diseases, analyses of problems in pathology, significant collections of case material and advances in concepts or techniques of value in the analysis and diagnosis of disease. Theoretical and experimental pathology and molecular biology pertinent to human disease are included. This critical journal is well illustrated with exceptional reproductions of photomicrographs and microscopic anatomy.
