Role of thyroid transcription factor-1 and P63 immunocytochemistry in cytologic typing of non-small cell lung carcinomas

Conclusion TTF-1 achieved moderate sensitivity, and high specificity in the diagnosis of AC, while P63 was highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of SCC. Immunocytochemistry raised the sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in diagnosing AC and SCC using TTF-1 and P63, respectively.
