Abstract

For NSCCA, p40 had 89% sensitivity and 100% specificity compared to p63 with 86% sensitivity and 96% specificity and CK5/6 with 100% sensitivity and 96% specificity. In the evaluation of FNA biopsy for pulmonary NSCCA, p40 is a useful IHC marker for neoplastic subclassification, with better specificity in comparison to p63.
