The objective: the finding of protein expression of apoptosis regulator BCL-2, Smooth Muscule Actin and the antigen Ki-67 in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of different severity to optimize the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Patients and methods. The study involved 42 women of reproductive age with cervical intraepithelial the neoplasia of the cervix varying degrees applied to the doctor of cervical pathology Zhitomir regional oncologic dispensary. All women (n=42) were divided into groups. The first group included 15 patients (35.7%) with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with mild. The second group included 13 women (31%) with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia a moderate degree. The third group was represented by patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with severe – 14 respondents (33.3 per cent). Results. Marker BCL-2 in patients of the first group was positive in 7 patients (46.7%), Smooth Muscule Actin was positive in 9 patients (60%) and Ki-67 was diagnosed in 8 of the surveyed women (53.3%). In the second group of BCL-2 was positive in 8 patients (61.5%), Clone 124, Smooth Muscule Actin, Clone 1A4 was positive in 9 patients (69.2%), and Ki-67 was diagnosed in 12 of the surveyed women (92.3%). Marker BCL-2 in patients of the third group was positive in 12 patients (85.7%), Smooth Muscule Actin was positive in 10 patients (71.4%) and Ki-67 was diagnosed in 13 of the surveyed women (92.9% ). Conclusion. Carcinogenesis is associated with molecular genetic damage to the cervix. Some of the products of this process can be used as prognostic and diagnostic markers of tumor progression. Determination of protein expression of apoptosis regulator BCL-2, Smooth Muscule Actin and the antigen Ki-67 in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia makes it possible to accurately verify the diagnosis and to predict the course of pathological changes in the flat epithelium of the cervix. Key words: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, cervical cancer, morphological diagnostics of precancerous lesions, BCL-2, Smooth Muscule Actin, Ki-67.

The Impact

Context.—The use of p16 in cervical biopsies improves the accuracy of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) diagnosis and grading and decreases its interpathologist variability. Objective.—To determine the impact of the frequency of use of p16 immunostains in cervical biopsies on pathologists' diagnoses of CIN grade 1 and grade 2 or above (CIN1 and CIN2+) and on cytohistologic correlations. Design.—We identified all cervical biopsy specimens with cytologic correlations subjected or not to p16 staining from January 1, 2005, to September 30, 2010; calculated each pathologist's percentage of p16 use; and correlated it with their major cytohistologic discrepancy rates, CIN2+ diagnoses, and CIN1/CIN2+ ratios. Results.—During the study period, each of the 23 pathologists interpreted 59 to 1811 (mean, 518) of 11 850 cervical biopsy specimens, used p16 for 0% to 21.31% (mean, 10.14%) of these, had CIN2+ detection rates of 9.5% to 24.1% (mean, 18.9%), and CIN1/CIN2+ ratios of 0.7 to 4.5 (mean, 1.5). Compared to the 12 “low users” of p16, who used p16 fewer times than the institution's mean for p16 use, the 11 “high users” of p16 diagnosed more biopsies (8391 versus 3459), had a lower rate of major cytohistologic discrepancies (12.62% versus 14.92%, P < .001), a higher rate of CIN2+ diagnoses (19.9% versus 16.4%, P < .001), a lower range of CIN2+ rates (15.0%–23.1% versus 9.5%–24.1%), and lower CIN1/CIN2+ ratios (1.2 versus 2.3). Conclusions.—We found a high intrainstitutional variability of p16 use in cervical biopsies, CIN2+ rates, and CIN1/CIN2+ ratios. Use of p16 for greater than 10% of cervical biopsies was associated with improved cytohistologic correlation rates and with lower variability in the frequencies of histologic diagnoses.

Abstract BACKGROUND: P16/INK4a and Ki-67 have emerged as important biomarkers for the detection of high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) associated dysplastic changes in the cervical biopsy samples. The increasing inter- and intra-observer variability in the diagnosis of dysplastic lesions and immature squamous metaplasia on histopathology has led to the advent of these biomarkers. This study was taken up with an aim to study their role in increasing the diagnostic accuracy in equivocal cases on histopathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty cervical biopsy specimens were stained with p16/INK4a and Ki-67 consisting of 10 cases each of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN I/II/III) along with five cases of squamous metaplasia. Histopathological diagnosis was considered as the gold standard. Statistical analysis was done by kappa statistics, and P value was calculated. RESULTS: The sensitivity and specificity of p16/INK4a and Ki-67 were 76.2%, 87.5%, 90.5%, and 87.5%, respectively. The overall agreement of both the immunostains with histopathological diagnosis was statistically significant (P < 0.05) and the diagnostic accuracy improved when both the stains were used in conjunction. CONCLUSION: Ki-67 and p16/INK4a can be used as complimentary tests in differentiating dysplastic and nondysplastic lesions and help in confirming the histopathological diagnosis. They aid in recognition of dysplasias caused by HR-HPV, which have higher tendency to progress to neoplasia. However, further research is advocated before the widespread use of these markers for screening of dysplasias.
