Comparison of TMA Technique and Routine Whole Slide Analysis in Evaluation of Proliferative Markers Expression in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Cancer
BACKGROUND/AIM:Comparison of the expression of Ki-67, MCM3, 5, 7 and MTI/II proteins using immunohistochemistry (IHC) on whole section (WS) and tissue microarray (TMA) of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) samples.MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 51 archival paraffin blocks of LSCC were used. TMAs were prepared from 1.5 mm core punches. IHC reactions were performed using antibodies against Ki-67, minichromosome maintenance proteins (MCM3, 5, 7) and metallothionein (MTI/II).RESULTS:Spearman rank correlation test revealed moderate positive correlation in the case of Ki-67: WS vs. TMA (r=0.38, p=0.07) and strong positive correlation in regard to the rest of tested markers: MCM3, WS vs. TMA (r=0.49, p=0.0004); MCM5, WS vs. TMA (r=0.61, p0.0001); MCM7, WS vs. TMA (r=0.59, p0.0001); MTI/II, WS vs. TMA (r=0.66, p0.0001). Mann Whitney U-test showed no significant differences in the case of Ki-67 and MCM5. Moreover, Bland-Altman test showed a low level of bias in regard to Ki-67, WS vs. TMA and MCM5, WS vs. TMA.CONCLUSION:TMA may be an effective and reliable method of assessment of Ki-67 and MCM5 expression in LSCC.Copyright? 2020, International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. George J.
