Six‐pattern p53 interpretation in 1293 vulvar squamous cell carcinomas: inter‐pathologist variation and pattern distribution according to p16 status

Findings support the clinical robustness of the six-pattern p53 framework, as interobserver agreement was high and most discrepancies were unlikely to impact tumour classification. While p16 proved helpful in p53 interpretation, certain cases remained challenging due to p53 heterogeneity or ambiguous p16/p53 combinations indicating a need for additional molecular testing in such instances.

Abstract

Findings support the clinical robustness of the six-pattern p53 framework, as interobserver agreement was high and most discrepancies were unlikely to impact tumour classification. While p16 proved helpful in p53 interpretation, certain cases remained challenging due to p53 heterogeneity or ambiguous p16/p53 combinations indicating a need for additional molecular testing in such instances.
