| Core Tip |
Our data show that the use of CDX2 immunostain in biopsies performed to rule out esophageal intestinal metaplasia (Barrett esophagus) has the advantage of discriminating between Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal glands. The latter is typically strongly positive for alcian blue (AB) pH 2.5 but negative for CDX2. CDX2 also discriminates between BE and columnar blue cells which are also positive for AB. Our data shows that CDX2 has a better positive predictive value in detecting intestinal metaplasia as compared to AB (95.6% vs 71.5% respectively). These results support the utility of CDX2 stain in the correct diagnosis of Barrett esophagus. |
