Another interesting study is called, "Value of calretinin immunostaining in differentiating epithelial mesothelioma from lung adenocarcinoma." By Ordóñez NG. The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston 77030 - Mod Pathol. 1998 Oct;11(10):929-33. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Only recently have immunohistochemical markers been recognized that are commonly expressed in epithelial mesotheliomas but not in adenocarcinomas. Among these, calretinin generated a great deal of interest, but the number of studies evaluating the practical use of calretinin immunostaining in the diagnosis of mesothelioma is limited, and the study results are controversial. To evaluate whether calretinin immunostaining can assist in distinguishing between epithelial pleural mesothelioma and lung adenocarcinoma and other carcinomas metastatic to the pleura, 38 pulmonary adenocarcinomas, 117 nonpulmonary adenocarcinomas, 28 squamous cell carcinomas of the lung, 8 large-cell undifferentiated carcinomas of the lung, and 9 transitional cell carcinomas metastatic to the lung were studied. Reactivity was observed in all of the 38 mesotheliomas, whereas only 3 of the 38 pulmonary...more
