Abstract

BackgroundLung cancer is still the main cause of cancer deaths. The high lung cancer mortality rate is caused by a diagnosis factor or therapy selection. The cell block cytology technique using fine needle aspiration (FNA) samples can provide immunocytochemical material that plays an important role in the differential diagnosis of lung cancer subtypes and in determining immunotherapy administration. This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of transthoracic FNA (TTFNA) cell block cytology in comparison with bronchial washing smears and TTFNA smears in diagnosing lung cancer. MethodsThis was a cross-sectional diagnostic study involving 26 subjects. All subjects had undergone bronchial washing and CT scan-guided fine needle aspiration followed by cell block preparation. Both direct FNA smears and cell blocks are useful in the diagnostic work-up of patients. Comparative statistical analysis of TTFNA cell block versus bronchial washing smear and TTFNA smear cytology was carried out using the McNemar test. ResultsLung cancer was found in 15 patients (57.7%) using the TTFNA cell block technique. The sensitivity and specificity of the TTFNA cell block technique were 85.7% and 75%, respectively. There was no difference in the positivity value between TTFNA cell block technique of bronchial wash smear technique, and TTFNA smear on lung cancer diagnosis (p>0.05). ConclusionsTransthoracic fine-needle aspiration in combination with the cell block technique has good sensitivity and specificity. The TTFNA can be used for immunocytochemical examinations in lung cancer diagnosis and therapy. This approach is valuable for providing individualized treatment and prognostic evaluations.

Abstract

BackgroundCondylomata acuminata (CA) are sexually transmitted infections primarily caused by low-risk HPV types 6 and 11. Retinoblastoma protein (pRb) interacts with HPV oncoproteins, leading to destabilization, genomic instability, and carcinogenesis. This study aimed to determine whether variations in pRb expression and sexual orientation are risk factors of the anatomical location of CA lesions and to compare differences in pRb expression by sexual orientation. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 33 patients aged >18 years with clinically and histopathologically confirmed CA. Demographic data, pRb expression assessed via excision biopsy and immunohistochemistry, and relevant risk factors were collected. Statistical analyses including Simple and multiple binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data, with model fit assessed using the Hosmer–Lemeshow test. ResultsWeak pRb expression predominated in anal lesions (92.3%; p=0.018) and among homosexual/bisexual individuals (57.9%; p=0.031), while moderate expression was more common in genital lesions (66.7%; p=0.018) and heterosexual individuals (57.1%; p=0.011). Simple logistic regression  analysis showed that HIV status (OR=11.88; p=0.025), sexual orientation (OR=13.33; p=0.001), and moderate-to-strong pRb expression (OR=24.00; p=0.008; OR=12.00; p=0.048) were associated with lesion location. In the multivariate model, pRb expression was excluded due to multicollinearity. Sexual orientation remained the only independent predictor of lesion location (Adj OR=8.89; p=0.023), with heterosexual individuals more likely to present with genital lesions. ConclusionThe expression of pRb was not a risk factor of the anatomical location of CA, and differed between genital and anal CA. However, sexual orientation emerged as the dominant independent factor associated with lesion location.
