Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the different expressions of 20 tissue markers in multiple metastatic lesions and organs in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
Materials and Methods: Sixty-six patients with mRCC, harboring 162 metastasectomy tissue lesions (MTLs), were enrolled. Immunohistochemical analysis for the following tissue markers was performed: BAP1; CD31; CD 34; HIF1α and 2α; Ki67; pS6; PBRM1; PDGFRα and β; PDL1; PSMA; PTEN; α-SMA; TGase2; VEGFR1, 2, and 3; VHL loss; and CA9. Cases were identified pathologically using the semi-quantitative H-score (0?300), including the intensity score (0, 1, 2, 3). The concordance rate was calculated as the number of patients with concordant binary score out of the total number of patients in that comparison.
Results: The specimens from 66 patients were divided into those from the same organs and those from different organs. Forty-two patients (44 cases) with 96 MTLs and 39 with 83 MTLs were examined. Among the 20 tissue markers, only BAP1, PSMA, VEGFR3, PDGFRα, and pS6 tissue showed high concordance ratio (>0.7) regardless of different metastatic tissues and different metastatic lesions within the tumor.
Conclusions: The study demonstrated the intratumoral heterogeneity of mRCC with a low-concordance index of most tissue markers. However, some had high concordance with a similar expression regardless of the metastatic organs, metastatic sites, or presence of recurrence.
