Immunohistochemistry Use by Diagnostic Category and Pathologist in 4477 Prostate Core Biopsy Sets Assessed at Two Hospitals
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) use in prostate cores is not routinely determined and its value assessed.
METHODS: Pathology reports for cases accessioned 2011 to 2017 at two hospitals were retrieved. IHC orders by pathologist and hospital were extracted with a custom program and tabulated. The diagnostic category (and highest grade cancer if applicable) was obtained by a hierarchical (free text) string matching algorithm.
