Foregut primary carcinomas can be difficult to definitively categorize on the basis of pathology alone, as their immunostaining patterns significantly overlap.[1]

Foregut primary directs to this article.

Foregut

The foregut includes the following:

IHC

Foregut carcinomas are typically:

  • CK7 +ve.
  • CK20 -ve.
  • CDX2 -ve.
  • HNF-1beta +ve (72-87% of cases +ve in one study[3]).

A (query) foregut primary panel for liver lesions:

  • AE1/AE3, CK7, CK20, CK19, CDX2, HepPar-1, CA-125, GATA3, PAX8, WT-1, TTF-1.
