Updates on Selected Topics in Lung Cancers: Air Space Invasion in Adenocarcinoma and Ki-67 Staining in Carcinoid Tumors.
Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine 2018 August
CONTEXT: - Air space invasion or aerogenous spread of lung adenocarcinoma is a relatively new concept and has been implicated as a potential prognostic factor as well as has been added as an exclusion point in the diagnosis of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma. Potential role for Ki-67 immunostaining as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in pulmonary carcinoid tumors has been suggested in the literature, given the significant interobserver variability and the difficulty in predicting their clinical behavior.
OBJECTIVE: - To review the concept of air space invasion in lung adenocarcinoma and the current controversies regarding the role of Ki-67 immunostaining on pulmonary carcinoid tumors Data Sources.- PubMed search of English literature.
CONCLUSIONS: - Pathologists need to recognize air space invasion with a critical evaluation to differentiate it from artifacts that are commonly seen in sections. Currently, Ki-67 immunostaining is not recommended for routine use in the diagnosis of pulmonary carcinoid tumors or for predicting their prognosis, except for the differential diagnosis from small cell carcinomas or large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas in small biopsy specimens with crush artifacts.
