Abstract
The preanalytical step is the first issue in the immunohistochemical evaluation of PTEN. With regard to the analytical procedure, the antigen retrieval step yielded better stains for protocols with high-pH buffers, and antibody clone 6H2.1 effected the most reliable results. PTEN is a good prognostic marker for vulvar cancer, correlating with higher rates of patient survival. Our data underscore the importance of technical standardization to ensure more reliable and reproducible evaluation of PTEN in clinical practice.
