If you take a good look of pic 1 and 2, you will appreciate a layer of epithelial cells toward the lumen. All the multiple layers of cells underneath the top layer are basal cells. Usually basal cells have pale or clear cytoplasm, while epithelial cells have pink cytoplasm. Whenever you have a prostate, try to appreciate features of epithelial cells and basal cells. After a while, you probably will reduce the cases for immunostains. Another point; whenever you see many cell layers and complex glands as seen in this case, probably it is not cancer. Remember, prostate cancer most time has simplified glands.
翻译中文:如果你仔细观察图1和2,会发现靠近腔内一层是上皮细胞,其下是多层基底细胞,基底细胞的细胞质常常是淡染或透亮,而上皮细胞常有粉红色的细胞质。在前列腺一定要分清上皮细胞和基底细胞。这样可能少做免疫组化。另外,当你看到一个病例有多层细胞和复杂的腺体,常常可能不是癌。记住:前列腺癌常常是简单的腺体。
