Descripción
This study presents an observational, cross-sectional analysis of 64 patients diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) at a reference laboratory for thoracic pathology between 2022 and 2024. The primary objective was to evaluate the expression of Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) and other neuroendocrine markers such as Chromogranin, and Synaptophysin, utilizing both traditional immunohistochemistry and digital pathology tools. Patients were primarily older adults, with a median age of over 71, and most biopsies were obtained from lung parenchyma. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed using specific monoclonal antibodies, with DLL3 showing variable expression across the samples. Notably, DLL3 was expressed in 72.3% of the cases, with varied intensities and a semi-quantitative H-score applied for more nuanced analysis. ASCL1 was expressed in 97% of cases, with the majority considered low-expressors. Only 11% had high expression. TTF-1, traditionally not a conventional marker for the diagnosis of SCLC, was positive in half of the cases, suggesting its potential as a biomarker. The study underscores the significant variability in the expression of neuroendocrine markers in SCLC, with implications for both diagnosis and potential therapeutic targeting. DLL3, particularly, shows promise as a therapeutic target due to its high expression rate in the cohort. The use of digital pathology software QuPath enhanced the accuracy and depth of analysis, allowing for detailed morphometric analysis and potentially informing more personalized treatment approaches. The findings emphasize the need for further research into the role of these markers in the management and treatment of SCLC, considering the poor prognosis and high mortality rate observed in the cohort.
