Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has become an indispensable tool in routine gynecological pathology, particularly with the advancements in molecular understanding and histological classification of gynecological cancers. This evolution has led to new immunostainings for diagnostic and classification purposes. This review describes the diagnostic utility of IHC in gynecological neoplasms, drawing insights from literature reviews, personal experiences, and research findings. It delves into the application of IHC in resolving morphologically equivocal cases, emphasizing its role in achieving an accurate diagnosis. The selection of appropriate immunomarkers for common scenarios encountered in gynecological pathology aids pathologists in navigating complex cases. Specifically, we focus on cervical and endometrial malignancies, elucidating the molecular rationale behind the use of specific immunohistochemical markers. An updated overview of essential immunohistochemical markers provides knowledge for precise diagnosis and classification of gynecological cancers. This review serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers involved in the management and study of gynecological malignancies, facilitating improved patient care and outcomes.
免疫组织化学(IHC)已成为妇科常规病理学中不可或缺的工具,尤其是随着对妇科癌症分子理解和组织学分类的进展。这种演变导致了用于诊断和分类目的的新免疫染色方法。本综述描述了免疫组织化学在妇科肿瘤中的诊断效用,借鉴了文献综述、个人经验和研究结果。它深入探讨了免疫组织化学在解决形态学上模棱两可的病例中的应用,强调其在实现准确诊断方面的作用。为妇科病理学中常见情况选择合适的免疫标志物有助于病理学家处理复杂病例。具体而言,我们专注于宫颈和子宫内膜恶性肿瘤,阐明使用特定免疫组化标志物背后的分子原理。对重要免疫组化标志物的最新概述为妇科癌症的精确诊断和分类提供了知识。本综述为参与妇科恶性肿瘤管理和研究的临床医生和研究人员提供了宝贵资源,有助于改善患者护理和治疗结果。
