  • Reference standards for gene fusion molecular assays on cytological samples : an international validation study
  • 2023
  • In: Journal of Clinical Pathology. - : BMJ. - 0021-9746 .- 1472-4146. ; 76:1, s. 47-52
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Aims Gene fusions assays are key for personalised treatments of advanced human cancers. Their implementation on cytological material requires a preliminary validation that may make use of cell line slides mimicking cytological samples. In this international multi-institutional study, gene fusion reference standards were developed and validated. Methods Cell lines harbouring EML4(13)–ALK(20) and SLC34A2(4)–ROS1(32) gene fusions were adopted to prepare reference standards. Eight laboratories (five adopting amplicon-based and three hybridisation-based platforms) received, at different dilution points two sets of slides (slide A 50.0%, slide B 25.0%, slide C 12.5% and slide D wild type) stained by Papanicolaou (Pap) and May Grunwald Giemsa (MGG). Analysis was carried out on a total of 64 slides. Results Four (50.0%) out of eight laboratories reported results on all slides and dilution points. While 12 (37.5%) out of 32 MGG slides were inadequate, 27 (84.4%) out of 32 Pap slides produced libraries adequate for variant calling. The laboratories using hybridisation-based platforms showed the highest rate of inadequate results (13/24 slides, 54.2%). Conversely, only 10.0% (4/40 slides) of inadequate results were reported by laboratories adopting amplicon-based platforms. Conclusions Reference standards in cytological format yield better results when Pap staining and processed by amplicon-based assays. Further investigation is required to optimise these standards for MGG stained cells and for hybridisation-based approaches.

  • Predictive molecular pathology in the time of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Europe
  • 2021
  • In: Journal of Clinical Pathology. - : BMJ. - 0021-9746 .- 1472-4146. ; 74:6, s. 391-395
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Aims Lung cancer predictive biomarker testing is essential to select advanced-stage patients for targeted treatments and should be carried out without delays even during health emergencies, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Methods Fifteen molecular laboratories from seven different European countries compared 4 weeks of national lockdown to a corresponding period in 2019, in terms of tissue and/or plasma-based molecular test workload, analytical platforms adopted, number of cases undergoing programmed death-ligand1 (PD-L1) expression assessment and DNA-based molecular tests turnaround time. Results In most laboratories (80.0%), tissue-based molecular test workload was reduced. In 40.0% of laboratories (6/15), the decrease was >25%, and in one, reduction was as high as 80.0%. In this instance, a concomitant increase in liquid biopsy was reported (60.0%). Remarkably, in 33.3% of the laboratories, real-time PCR (RT-PCR)-based methodologies increased, whereas highly multiplexing assays approaches decreased. Most laboratories (88.9%) did not report significant variations in PD-L1 volume testing. Conclusions The workload of molecular testing for patients with advanced-stage lung cancer during the lockdown showed little variations. Local strategies to overcome health emergency-related issues included the preference for RT-PCR tissue-based testing methodologies and, occasionally, for liquid biopsy.

  • Primary vulvar adenocarcinoma of intestinal type: Report of two cases showing molecular similarity with colorectal adenocarcinoma
  • 2024
  • In: PATHOLOGY RESEARCH AND PRACTICE. - 0344-0338 .- 1618-0631. ; 255
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Primary vulvar adenocarcinoma is a particularly rare tumor with poorly understood histogenesis and unclear clinical characteristics and prognosis. Vulvar adenocarcinoma of intestinal type (VAIt) is a very uncommon subtype of primary vulvar adenocarcinoma and only 27 cases have been described in the literature in the past. Of these cases, two have been described as human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated VAIt. The current report presents two additional cases of primary VAIt showing variants in the KRAS, TP53, and DPYD genes and no evidence of HPV DNA by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) revealed TP53 pathogenic variants in both cases, but only one case had aberrant p53 protein immunohistochemical characteristics. KRAS and DPYD mutations were identified separately in the two cases. Due to their capacity to imitate the spread of more prevalent gastrointestinal carcinomas, these tumors may present diagnostic issues. Additional cases can contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology and prognosis of VAIt.
