Simplifying Mismatch Repair Deficiency Screening in Endometrial Adenocarcinoma: Immunohistochemistry with Two-Antibody Panel (PMS2 and MSH6)
The simplified two-antibody MMR IHC screening approach using PMS2 and MSH6 showed high concordance with the traditional four-antibody panel. This suggests its potential as an alternative method for reflex MMR status testing in endometrial adenocarcinoma. The implementation of this approach could streamline the diagnostic process, reduce costs, and improve the detection of Lynch syndrome in affected individuals and their families. Further studies with larger cohorts and long-term follow-up are needed to validate these findings and assess the clinical implications of this approach in routine practice.
