Background: Prostate carcinoma is the second leading cause of cancer and the fifth cause of cancer death in men worldwide.
Objective: To know high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and prostate acinar adenocarcinoma immunohistochemical profiles.
Material and methods: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional, retrospective study of specimens obtained by cutting needle biopsy and prostate resection from subjects diagnosed with acinar adenocarcinoma of the prostate and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia between January 2015 and December 2020. Tissue microarrays were performed and, subsequently, immunohistochemical studies for BCL2, EGFR, p53, Her2/neu and Ki67. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze clinicopathological factors. Qualitative variables were compared with Fisher's exact test.
Results: Twenty-three patients were studied; eight (34%) with angiolymphatic invasion, 14 (60.8%) with perineural invasion, five (21.2%) with prostatitis, and four (17.3%) with fibroadenomatous hyperplasia. HER2/neu (p = 0.1023), p53 (p = 1) and BCL2 expression (p = 0.4136) was observed.
Conclusion: HER2/neu increased expression was identified in high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and acinar adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
Antecedentes: En el mundo, el carcinoma de próstata constituye la segunda causa de cáncer y la quinta causa de muerte por cáncer en hombres.
Objetivo: Conocer el perfil inmunohistoquímico de la neoplasia intraepitelial prostática de alto grado y del adenocarcinoma acinar de próstata.
Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, analítico, transversal y retrospectivo de especímenes obtenidos por biopsia con aguja cortante y resección de próstata debido a diagnóstico de adenocarcinoma acinar de próstata y neoplasia intraepitelial de alto grado, entre enero de 2015 y diciembre de 2020. Se realizaron microarreglos tisulares y, posteriormente, estudios de inmunohistoquímica para BCL2, EGFR, p53, Her2/neu y Ki67. Se realizó estadística descriptiva para analizar los factores clinicopatológicos; las variables cualitativas se compararon con prueba exacta de Fisher.
Resultados: Se estudiaron 23 pacientes, ocho (34 %) con invasión angiolinfática, 14 (60.8 %) con invasión perineural, cinco (21.2 %) con prostatitis y cuatro (17.3 %) con hiperplasia fibroadenomatosa. Se observó expresión de HER2/neu (p = 0.1023), p53 (p = 1) y BCL2 (p = 0.4136).
Conclusión: Se identificó mayor expresión de HER2/neu en la neoplasia intraepitelial prostática de alto grado y el adenocarcinoma acinar de próstata.
Keywords: Acinar adenocarcinoma; Adenocarcinoma acinar; Gleason; Intraepithelial prostatic neoplasia; Neoplasia intraepitelial de próstata.
