Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay for the diagnosis of lymph node (LN) metastasis in uterine cancer.
Methods: A total of 116 LNs from 30 patients with cervical and endometrial cancer, enrolled in this prospective study, were used. Excised LNs were cut into 4 to 6 blocks at 2 mm intervals, and nonadjacent blocks were alternately subjected to either histological examination or the OSNA assay.
Results: The concordance rate between histological examination and the OSNA assay in cervical cancer and in endometrial cancer was 95.9% and 95.2%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of the OSNA assay were 80%, 97.7%, and 97.7% in cervical cancer, and 85.7%, 93.3%, and 98.2% in endometrial cancer, respectively. In cervical cancer, discordant results were observed in 2 out of 49 LNs (4.1%); 1 was OSNA assay-positive and histological examination-negative, and 1 was OSNA assay-negative and histological examination-positive. In endometrial cancer, discordant results were observed in 5 out of 67 LNs (7.5%); 4 were OSNA assay-positive and histological examination-negative, and 1 was OSNA assay-negative and histological examination-positive.
Conclusion: The OSNA assay showed high concordance rate with histological examination, sensitivity, and specificity in uterine cancer, suggesting that it could enhance the accuracy of conventional pathological examination for the detection of LN metastasis by reducing false negative rate.
