Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Immunohistochemistry provides an important indicator for differential diagnosis between pleural malignant mesothelioma and lung adenocarcinoma, which have complex therapeutic and medicolegal implications. To pinpoint a reliable, restricted panel of markers, the authors evaluated the efficacy of select commercial antibodies in a series of patients with confirmed clinicopathologic diagnosis of mesothelioma or lung adenocarcinoma with the aid of multiple logistic classification tables. Specimens of 46 mesotheliomas and 20 lung adenocarcinomas were examined with calretinin, thrombomodulin, cytokeratins (CKs) 5/6, and high-molecular weight CKs (indicators of mesothelioma), alongside MOC 31, Ber-EP4, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA; indicators of lung adenocarcinoma). Of the mesotheliomas, 40 of 46 (87%) were positive with calretinin, 29 of 46 (63%) with thrombomodulin, 40 of 46 (87%)...more
