| Immunostain in short | |
 p63 staining in squamous epithelium with dysplasia. | |
| Similar stains | p40 (more specific for squamous cell carcinoma) |
| Use | breast pathology (invasion vs. in situ), prostate pathology (HGPIN vs. cancer), lung (adenocarcinoma vs. squamous) |
| Normal staining pattern | nuclear staining |
| Positive | squamous cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma |
| Negative | prostate carcinoma, most lung adenocarcinoma, breast carcinoma |
p63 is a commonly used immunostain. p63, like most other "p" stains, is a nuclear stain.
Pattern
- Nuclear staining.
- Stains basal cells in a normal squamous epithelium.
- Superficial cells are typically negative.
- In dysplasia, the staining is seen more superficially,[1] as one might expect as most squamous carcinomas are positive for p63.
Note:
- Cytoplasmic staining suggestive of muscle differentiation - seen in rhabdomyosarcoma.[2]
Staining
Positive - common use
- Marker of squamous cell carcinoma.
- Urothelial carcinoma.[3]
- Small cell carcinoma of the lung ~80% of cases.[4]
Invasive versus in situ
Thresholding (invasive vs. pre-invasive):
- Prostate basal cell marker.
- Breast myoepithelial cell marker.
Negative
Negative p63 staining in a poorly differentiated carcinoma.
Non-classic tumours
- Di Como et al[6] looked at a large cross-section of tumours.
- Jo and Fletcher[7] did a paper on soft tissue lesions and p63.
