Ber-EP4 Expression and Staining Patterns in Cutaneous Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Clinicopathological Study From a Vietnamese Cohort

Key Points

• To evaluate the expression and staining patterns of Ber-EP4 in cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
• Conducted a clinicopathological analysis of cutaneous BCC samples from a Vietnamese cohort.
• Utilized immunohistochemical techniques to assess Ber-EP4 expression patterns.
• Examined histological features and correlated them with staining results.
• Observed predominantly diffuse Ber-EP4 expression in non-ulcerated tumors.
• Noted reduced expression in ulcerated tumors, presenting diagnostic challenges.
• Identified inconsistencies in staining patterns in superficially sampled lesions.
