Numerous immunohistochemical markers have been developed to determine the differentiation of tumor cells and suggest possible primary sites, but markers of gastric and pancreatic adenocarcinomas are still lacking. Claudin-18 is a tight-junction protein uniquely expressed in gastric epithelial cells and has been shown to be expressed in gastric and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Whether claudin-18 can be used as a marker for identifying the primary site of cancer is still unclear. In this study, we used the immunohistochemical method to stain claudin-18 in tissue arrays containing 575 carcinomas from different anatomic sites and representative sections of 157 metastatic adenocarcinomas. In the group of primary tumors, claudin-18 was frequently expressed in gastric, pancreatic, and pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinomas. Half of cholangiocarcinomas and ovarian mucinous carcinomas and some colorectal and pulmonary adenocarcinomas were also positive for claudin-18. In the metastatic cohort, 15 of 17 (88%) gastric adenocarcinomas, 18 of 23 (78%) pancreatic adenocarcinomas, and 4 of 7 (57%) cholangiocarcinomas and gallbladder adenocarcinomas were positive for claudin-18. Only 4 tumors that originated outside the stomach and pancreatobiliary tract were positive for claudin-18. After normalization to the tumor frequency, the sensitivity of claudin-18 for identifying the stomach and pancreatobiliary tract as primary tumor sites was 79%, and the specificity was 93%. The positive and negative predictive values were 76% and 94%, respectively. In conclusion, claudin-18 represents a sensitive and specific marker for stomach and pancreatobiliary adenocarcinoma that may be a useful diagnostic tool in routine surgical pathology. ? 2020 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.
