Introduction: The OSNA technique is based on reverse transcription loop-mediated DNA amplification for the detection of cytokeratin 19 (CK19) messen-ger RNA (mRNA). The purpose of our paper, which represents the first study in the literature, is to test the accuracy of this method in the detection of lymph node metastases in patients undergoing robotic radical prostatectomy with lymph node dis-section.
Methods: Our cohort consisted of patients that have undergone robotic radical prostatectomy with extended lymph node dissec-tion. Lymph nodes were evaluated with imprint technique and then with frozen section examination. The remaining tissue was evaluated by OSNA method. Lymph nodes were defined as ‘neg-ative’ or ‘positive’ according to mRNA copy number.
Results: 7 patients and 25 lymph nodes were included in our cohort. Two patients were found negative with all pathology methods. In one patient the standard stains revealed a suspi-cious outcome but it was positive for micrometastasis with OSNA. In another patient the outcome was positive for standard stains and negative for OSNA. Finally, 2 patients were found positive for OSNA and negative for imprint methods. Conclusions: One Step Nucleic Acid Amplification (OSNA) method using CK19 seems to fail in detection of lymph node metastases in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and lymph node dissection.
