PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-4 (FGFR-4) expression with radiologic, pathologic, and clinical parameters in pituitary adenomas.
METHODS: Among 307 patients who underwent pituitary surgery for a pituitary adenoma between 2000 and 2015, we included 161 patients (53 gonadotroph, 26 corticotroph, 25 null cell, 22 lactotroph, 13 somatotroph, 8 adenomas with unusual combination, 7 Pit-1 positive adenomas, and 7 lactosomatotroph) based on availability of pathology specimens. Patients' radiologic, pathologic, and clinical parameters were determined. FGFR-4 immunostaining was evaluated using a semi-quantitative histologic score (H-score).
RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 61 (IQR=32-84) months. The median H-scores for FGFR-4 were higher in patients without remission, those with residual lesion, and T2-hyperintense adenoma (p<0.05). Ki-67 level was higher in patients without remission compared to those in remission (p<0.05). The mean Ki-67 levels did not differ between patients with and without residual lesion or T2-hyperintense tumor (p>0.05). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) when the H-score and Ki-67 levels were assessed in terms of sex, sellar-dural invasion, Knosp and a grading system for superior, inferior, parasellar, anterior and posterior tumor extension Classification, tumor function or presence of poor subtype. Adenomas with Ki-67 expression ≥3% had higher FGFR4 expression levels than those with <3% expression (p=0.002). There was a weak positive correlation between H-score and Ki-67 (p=0.011; r=0.201).
CONCLUSIONS: Higher levels of FGFR-4 in pituitary adenomas could be use a marker for more aggressive tumor behavior.
