Nondestructive, real-time intraoperative histopathological imaging methods may improve margin status assessment at the time of surgery; optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been identified as a potential solution but has not been tested with the most common tissue types in surgical oncology using a single, standardized platform. <b>Methods:</b> This was a proof-of-concept evaluation of a novel device that employs wide-field OCT (WF-OCT; OTIS 2.0 System) to image tissue specimens. Various cadaveric tissues were obtained from a single autopsy and were imaged with WF-OCT then processed for permanent histology. The quality and resolution of the WF-OCT images were evaluated and compared to histology and with images in previous literature. <b>Results:</b> A total of 30 specimens were collected and tissue-specific microarchitecture consistent with previous literature were identified on both WF-OCT images and histology slides for all specimens, and corresponding sections were correlated. Application of vacuum pressure during scanning did not affect specimen integrity. On average, specimens were scanned at a speed of 10.3 s/cm² with approximately three features observed per tissue type. <b>Conclusion:</b> The WF-OCT images captured in this study displayed the key features of the most common human tissue types encountered in surgical oncology with utility comparable to histology, confirming the utility of an FDA-cleared imaging platform. With further study, WF-OCT may have the potential to bridge the gap between the immediate information needs of the operating room and the longer timeline inherent to histology workflow.</p>","PeriodicalId":19981,"journal":{"name":"Pathology & Oncology Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10374948/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9919476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Significant prognostic factors were determined by the univariate and multivariate Cox analysis. The nomogram model for the prediction of cancer-specific survival (CSS) in rectal cancer patients were developed based on these prognostic variables, and its predictive power was assessed by the concordance index (C-index).

The baseline characteristics of two cohorts was comparable. Independent prognostic factors were identified as age, pT stage, lymph node metastasis, serum CEA level, tumor size, differentiation type, perineural invasion, circumferential resection margin involvement and inadequate lymph node yield.

Despite multiple treatment modalities for patients with ESCA, the overall prognosis remains poor. Apolipoprotein C1 (APOC1) is involved in tumorigenesis as an inflammation-related molecule, and its role in esophageal cancer is still unknown. <b>Methods:</b> We downloaded documents and clinical data using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. We also conducted bioinformatics studies on the diagnostic value, prognostic value, and correlation between APOC1 and immune infiltrating cells in ESCA through STRING (https://cn.string-db.org/), the TISIDB (http://cis.hku.hk/TISIDB/) website, and various other analysis tools. <b>Results:</b> In patients with ESCA, APOC1 was significantly more highly expressed in tumor tissues than in normal tissues (<i>p</i> < 0.001). APOC1 could diagnose ESCA more accurately and determine the TNM stage and disease classification with high accuracy (area under the curve, AUC≥0.807). The results of the Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that APOC1 has prognostic value for esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESCC) (<i>p</i> = 0.043). Univariate analysis showed that high APOC1 expression in ESCC was significantly associated with worse overall survival (OS) (<i>p</i> = 0.043), and multivariate analysis shows that high APOC1 expression was an independent risk factor for the OS of patients with ESCC (<i>p</i> = 0.030).
