Diagnostic immunohistochemistry use in Belgian laboratories
Objectives
In Belgium, the use of IHC testing has grown in the last decade. However, there is a lack of information on the specific indications for which it is reimbursed. The aim of the study is to offer an overview on the use of diagnostic inmunohistochemistry (IHC) testing and its recent trends.
Methods
Our analysis is limited to reimbursed use, which in Belgium is restricted to a maximum of 4 different IHC stains per sampling session for diagnostic IHC. Consulted sources included data from the compulsory health insurance, and data extracted from a sample of pathology reports gathered from Belgian laboratories for the year 2019.
Results
Over the last 10 years, the use of IHC in Belgium grew from 729 030 stains in 2012 to 1,194,331 in 2019, an increase of 63.8 % while the increase in the number of histological or cytological examinations was 13.3 %. The main stains used in 2019 were H. pylori, Ki-67 and broad spectrum CK, which were used in multiple body sites, reflecting the difficulties to identify specific indications. The gastro-intestinal tract is the body site with the highest number of IHC stains (38.2 % of all stains performed), and the most frequently used stain in gastro intestinal biopsies were H. pylori (43.1 %), and CD3 (6.8 %).
Conclusion
This study offers an overview of the most frequent indications for which diagnostic IHC staining is used in Belgium, and reflects the evolving nature of this field, highlighting the importance to increase clarity and improve data collection.
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.
