Mod Pathol 2024; 37:100553. [PMID: 38925253 DOI: 10.1016/j.modpat.2024.100553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Vulvar lichen sclerosus (LS) is an inflammatory dermatosis that can progress to human papillomavirus (HPV)-independent vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (HPVi VIN) and vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC). Although LS has a much lower cancer risk compared with HPVi VIN (5% versus 50%, respectively), its incidence is significantly higher. Therefore, there is a clinical need to identify LS patients with an increased cancer risk. Our objective was to study the value of DNA methylation and p53 immunohistochemistry (IHC) as prognostic biomarkers for progression to cancer in patients with LS. Vulvar tissues from 236 patients were selected, including 75 LS and 68 HPVi VIN, both with and without cancer development, 32 VSCC, and 61 healthy vulvar controls. Samples were subjected to p53 IHC and DNA methylation analysis of a 3-gene marker panel containing ZNF582, SST, and miR124-2. Methylation levels and p53 IHC status (mutant or wild-type) were assessed and compared among all disease categories. Odds ratios were determined to identify whether the biomarkers were associated with progression to cancer in patients with LS. The highest methylation levels were found in HPVi VIN and VSCC, followed by LS and healthy vulvar controls. The largest heterogeneity in methylation levels was observed in LS cases. In fact, the 3-marker panel tested positive in 70% of LS, which progressed to VSCC versus only 17% of LS in patients without cancer development (P = .002). Also, mutant p53 IHC was observed more frequently in LS with progression to VSCC compared with nonprogressive LS cases (42% versus 3%, respectively, P = .001). Multivariable analysis identified a mutant p53 status as the only independent risk factor for cancer development in LS (odds ratio: 34.0, 95% CI: 1.4-807.4). In conclusion, DNA methylation testing and p53 IHC show strong potential as prognostic biomarkers for the identification of LS patients at high risk of progression to cancer.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— The use of immunohistochemical stains in breast and gynecologic pathology has become increasingly complex, with various diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive applications. OBJECTIVE.— To provide an update and review of immunohistochemical stains used in the practice of breast and gynecologic pathology. Established and new entities are reviewed, with descriptions of histomorphology and immunohistochemical staining patterns and discussion of interpretive pitfalls. DATA SOURCES.— Data were obtained from review of the English-language literature and firsthand experience of the authors in breast and gynecologic pathology. CONCLUSIONS.— Many entities in breast and gynecologic pathology benefit from evaluation with various immunohistochemical stains. These studies not only aid in the diagnosis and staging of tumors but also can provide prognostic and predictive information. Updated guidelines for recommended ancillary studies such as mismatch repair, p53, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) studies in endometrium, as well as estrogen and progesterone receptors and HER2 in breast, are discussed. Finally, the use and interpretation of established and novel immunohistochemical stains are discussed in various breast and gynecologic malignancies.

[PMID: 37839360 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.154877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
NOTCH1 and PIK3CA are members of important cell signalling pathways that are deregulated in squamous cell carcinomas of various organs. Vulvar squamous cell carcinomas (vulvSCC) are classically divided into two pathways, HPV-associated or HPV-independent, but the effect of NOTCH1 and PIK3CA mutations in both groups is unclear. We analysed two different cohorts of vulvSCC using Hybrid Capture-based Comprehensive Genomic Profiling and identified NOTCH1 and PIK3CA mutations in 35% and 31% of 48 primary vulvSCC. In this first cohort, PIK3CA and NOTCH1 mutations were significantly correlated with HPV infection (p < 0.01). Furthermore, mutations in both genes were associated with an advanced tumor stage and poorly differentiated status (p < 0.05). PIK3CA and NOTCH1 mutations were also associated with shorter patient survival which did not reach significance. In the second cohort of 735 advanced vulvSCC from metastatic site biopsies or from sites of unresectable loco-regional disease, NOTCH1 and PIK3CA mutations were reported in 14% and 20.3%, respectively. 4 of 48 (8%) and 22 of 735 vulvSCC (3.0%) featured genomic alterations (short variants and/or copy number changes and/or rearrangements) in both NOTCH1 and PIK3CA. NOTCH1 mutations were mostly located in the extracellular EGF-like domains, were inactivating and indicated that NOTCH1 functions predominantly as a tumor suppressor gene in vulvSCC. In contrast, PIK3CA mutations favored hotspot codons 1624 and 1633 of the gene, indicating that PIK3CA acts as an oncogene in vulvar carcinogenesis. In conclusion, NOTCH1 and PIK3CA mutations are detectable in a substantial proportion of vulvSCC and are related to HPV infection and more aggressive tumor behaviour.

Betapapillomaviruses in p16-Negative Vulvar Intraepithelial Lesions Associated with Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Viruses 2023; 15:1950. [PMID: 37766356 PMCID: PMC10537070 DOI: 10.3390/v15091950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Approximately 40% of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (vSCC) cases are etiologically associated with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) of the alpha genera (α-HPV) that cause other anogenital cancers; however, the etiology of α-HPV-negative vSCC is poorly understood. HPVs of the beta genera (β-HPV) are risk factors for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and may be related to carcinomas originating in other cutaneous sites such as the vulva. In this study, we investigate the presence of β-HPVs, with an emphasis on p16-negative squamous lesions adjacent to vSCC. We subjected 28 vulvar squamous intraepithelial lesions adjacent to vSCC for comprehensive HPV genotyping, p16 and p53 immunohistochemistry, and consensus morphology review. Selected cases were subjected to qPCR and RNA in situ hybridization. Clinical data were obtained from medical records. β-HPV DNA was detected in eight of ten p16-negative lesions and three of fourteen p16-positive high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. The HPV DNA loads in vulvar squamous intraepithelial lesions ranged between less than 1 HPV DNA copy per cell to more than 100 HPV DNA copies per cell. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of the association of p16-negative vulvar intraepithelial squamous lesions with detection of β-HPVs. These findings expand possible etiologic mechanisms that may contribute to p16-negative lesions of the vulva.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is a relatively rare gynecologic cancer. Unlike cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), in which nearly all cases are caused by HPV infection, most VSCCs are HPV-independent. Patients with VSCC also have worse overall survival (OS) than those with CSCC. Unlike CSCC, the risk factors of VSCC have not been extensively studied. Here, we investigated the prognostic values of clinicopathological parameters as well as biomarkers in patients with VSCC. METHODS In total, 69 cases of VSCC accessions were selected for analysis between April 2010 and October 2020. The risk factors of VSCC were screened using Cox models to establish nomograms for predicting survival outcomes. RESULTS Following the multivariate COX model for OS, independent predictors including advanced age (hazard ratio [HR] 5.899, p = 0.009), HPV positivity (HR 0.092, p = 0.016), high Ki-67 index (HR 7.899, p = 0.006), PD-L1-positivity (HR 4.736, p = 0.077), and CD8 + tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) (HR 0.214, p = 0.024) were included in the nomogram for OS; multivariate COX model for progression-free survival (PFS) was used to screen prognostic factors including advanced age (HR 2.902, p = 0.058), lymph node metastasis (HR 5.038, p = 0.056), HPV positivity (HR 0.116, p = 0.011), high Ki-67 index (HR 3.680, p = 0.042), PD-L1-positivity (HR 5.311, p = 0.045), and CD8 + TILs (HR 0.236, p = 0.014) to establish the PFS nomogram model. Based on the C-index (0.754 for OS and 0.754 for PFS) from our VSCC cohort and the corrected C-index (0.699 for OS and 0.683 for PFS) from an internal validation cohort, the nomograms demonstrated good predictive and discriminative ability. Kaplan-Meier curves also supported the excellent performance of the nomograms. CONCLUSION Our prognostic nomograms suggested that (1) shorter OS and PFS were associated with PD-L1-positivity, high Ki-67 index, and low CD8 + TILs; (2) HPV-independent tumors were associated with poorer survival outcome, and mutant p53 status showed no prognostic significance.

Abstract
This review provides an update on immunohistochemistry applications-diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive-in the pathology evaluation of gynecologic carcinomas. The 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Female Genital Tumors introduced important changes in the diagnostic classification of lower genital tract, endometrial, and ovarian carcinomas, with major influence on the routine pathology practice. Lower genital tract carcinomas and their precursor lesions are now classified based on their human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated and HPV-independent pathogenesis, reflecting the clinically significant prognostic differences and impacting the therapeutic decision-making. Immunohistochemical markers have an increasing role in the pathology evaluation of endometrial carcinomas: in addition to their traditional use in the differential diagnosis and histologic subtyping, they have also been recently advocated for prognostic classification as surrogates for the TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) molecular groups. New entities - mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma and gastric (gastrointestinal)-type mucinous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium - have also been added and often require immunostains for diagnostic confirmation. Ovarian carcinomas frequently show overlapping morphologic patterns and heterogeneous appearance within the same tumor, necessitating immunohistochemical work-up. Beyond diagnostic applications, there is increasing clinical demand for screening of inherited cancer syndromes, prediction of prognosis and guiding targeted therapy. Practical issues and pitfalls related to mismatch repair protein immunohistochemistry, HER2, and PD-L1 testing are also discussed.

Abstract
Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is a rare malignancy with dual pathogenesis, Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated and HPV-independent, with a poorly explored molecular landscape. We aimed to summarize the findings of the series analyzing molecular hallmarks of this neoplasm. In January 2021, we conducted a comprehensive literature search using Pubmed Medline and Scopus to identify publications focused on genomic profiling of VSCC. Observational studies, including both prospective and retrospective designs, evaluating molecular alterations in VSCC were deemed eligible. A total of 14 studies analyzing 749 VSCC were identified. The study series were heterogeneous in HPV testing and sequencing strategies, included small sets of tumors and cancer genes, and commonly lacked survival analysis. Only one extensive targeted next-generation sequencing-based study comprised a large cohort of 280 VSCC. The mutated genes, their number, and frequencies were highly variable between the series. Overall, TP53 and CDKN2A, followed by PIK3CA, HRAS, and PTEN, were the most frequently studied and mutated genes. Mutations involved in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, including TP53, HRAS, KRAS, and PIK3CA, have been consistently reported across the studies. However, the role of individual mutations or pathways in the development of VSCC remains unclear. In conclusion, heterogeneity and the small sample size of available molecular series contribute to a limited view of the molecular landscape of VSCC. Large-scale genome- or exome-wide studies with robust HPV testing are necessary to improve the molecular characterization of VSCC.

[PMID: 33918187 PMCID: PMC8066509 DOI: 10.3390/ph14040324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Histological diagnosis of differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (dVIN), the precursor of human papillomavirus (HPV)-independent vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC), can be challenging, as features of dVIN may mimic those of non-dysplastic dermatoses. To aid the diagnosis, p53-immunohistochemistry (IHC) is commonly used, and mutant expression patterns are used to support a histological diagnosis of dVIN. However, a proportion of dVIN can show wild-type p53-expression, which is characteristic of non-dysplastic dermatoses. Furthermore, recent research has identified a novel precursor of HPV-independent VSCC—the p53-wild-type differentiated exophytic vulvar intraepithelial lesion (de-VIL). Currently, there are no established diagnostic IHC-markers for p53-wild-type dVIN or de-VIL. We evaluated IHC-markers, cytokeratin 17 (CK17), and SRY-box 2 (SOX2), as diagnostic adjuncts for dVIN. For this, IHC-expression of CK17, SOX2, and p53 was studied in dVIN (n = 56), de-VIL (n = 8), and non-dysplastic vulvar tissues (n = 46). For CK17 and SOX2, the percentage of cells showing expression, and the intensity and distribution of expression were recorded. We also performed next generation targeted sequencing (NGTS) on a subset of dVIN (n = 8) and de-VIL (n = 8). With p53-IHC, 74% of dVIN showed mutant patterns and 26% showed wild-type expression. Median percentage of cells expressing CK17 or SOX2 was significantly higher in dVIN (p53-mutant or p53-wild-type) and de-VIL than in non-dysplastic tissues (p < 0.01). Diffuse, moderate-to-strong, full epithelial expression of CK17 or SOX2 was highly specific for dVIN and de-VIL. With NGTS, TP53 mutations were detected in both dVIN and de-VIL. We infer that immunohistochemical markers CK17 and SOX2, when used along with p53, may help support the histological diagnosis of dVIN.
