| Abstract: |
| Objective: The tumor tissues used in molecular pathological detection were usually obtained by surgery, which would cause trauma and may not be suitable for the terminal cancer patients. This paper evaluated the value of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) pleural effusion cell blocks as tumor tissues replacement materials in the application of molecular pathological detection. Methods: Tumor cells were made into cell blocks through stratified centrifugal from 30 NSCLC patients with the pleural effusion. The immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and gene sequencing methods were employed in our experiments. Results: The tumor cells of cell block section were rich and could keep part of histological structure. Immunohistochemistry staining could assist diagnosis and tumor parting. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) FISH-positive was found in 33.33% of the group, high polysomy in 6 cases, amplification in 4 cases. EGFR gene mutations were found in 8 cases of 30 samples, with an incidence of 26.67%, 6 cases were detected in the exon 19, and 2 cases were detected in the exon 21. Conclusion: The NSCLC pleural effusion cell blocks are useful for the diagnosis and determining the primary source of tumor, instructed targeted therapy. |
