E-cadherin IHC CASE F E-cadherin IHC 10/8/2011 28

Literature Summary: Correlation of E-cadherin Expression as a Prognostic Factor • 5 papers report lack of expression as a predictor of poor outcome. • 7 papers report no significance. • 4 papers report expression as a predictor of poor outcome prognosticator. E-cadherin status in breast cancer correlates with histologic type but does not correlate with established prognostic parameters. Am J Clin Pathol (United States), Mar 2006, 125(3) p377-85 - “Statistically a correlation of EC loss with a positive diagnosis of ILC was found but there was no correlation with any prognostic tumor variables.” - “EC is helpful in classifying cases with indeterminate histologic features. EC loss is uncommon in non-lobular carcinomas with no correlation to currently established prognostic variables.” Location of our sign-out microscopes in surgical pathology In San Diego 10/8/2011 29
