Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay for the diagnosis of lymph node (LN) metastasis in uterine cancer.
Methods: A total of 116 LNs from 30 patients with cervical and endometrial cancer, enrolled in this prospective study, were used. Excised LNs were cut into 4 to 6 blocks at 2 mm intervals, and nonadjacent blocks were alternately subjected to either histological examination or the OSNA assay.
Results: The concordance rate between histological examination and the OSNA assay in cervical cancer and in endometrial cancer was 95.9% and 95.2%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of the OSNA assay were 80%, 97.7%, and 97.7% in cervical cancer, and 85.7%, 93.3%, and 98.2% in endometrial cancer, respectively. In cervical cancer, discordant results were observed in 2 out of 49 LNs (4.1%); 1 was OSNA assay-positive and histological examination-negative, and 1 was OSNA assay-negative and histological examination-positive. In endometrial cancer, discordant results were observed in 5 out of 67 LNs (7.5%); 4 were OSNA assay-positive and histological examination-negative, and 1 was OSNA assay-negative and histological examination-positive.
Conclusion: The OSNA assay showed high concordance rate with histological examination, sensitivity, and specificity in uterine cancer, suggesting that it could enhance the accuracy of conventional pathological examination for the detection of LN metastasis by reducing false negative rate.

Background: This is a multicentre, European, prospective trial evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of One Step Nucleic Acid Amplification (OSNA) compared to sentinel lymph nodes histopathological ultrastaging in endometrial cancer patients.
Methods: Centres with expertise in sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer patients in Europe will be invited to participate in the study. Participating units will be trained on the correct usage of the OSNA RD-210 analyser and nucleic acid amplification reagent kit LYNOAMP CK19 E for rapid detection of metastatic nodal involvement, based on the cytokeratin 19 (CK19) mRNA detection.

Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the most accurate procedure for lymph node (LN) staging in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. LN sectioning and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of at least one slice remains the gold standard for LN evaluation, potentially leading to misdetection of small metastatic focus. Entire LN analysis is possible with One-Step Nucleic Acid Amplification (OSNA) by detecting cytokeratin 19 (CK19) mRNA as a surrogate for LN invasion.

Establishing an accurate prognosis for women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) is extremely challenging. Axillary lymph node (ALN) evaluation is considered of major prognostic value. The one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay is currently used for assessing axillary sentinel lymph node (SLN) status in BC.

Aims: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological cancer worldwide and its incidence is rising. The cornerstone of its management is surgical treatment with nodal staging. A monocentric study investigating the potential of the molecular biology method of one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) in sentinel lymph node (SLN) analysis was conducted at our institution between April 2016 and January 2018.

Background: The earliest manifestation of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is steatosis characterized by deposition of fat in specialized organelles called lipid droplets (LDs). While alcohol administration causes a rise in LD numbers in the hepatocytes, little is known regarding their characteristics that allow their accumulation and size to increase. The aim of the present study is to gain insights into underlying pathophysiological mechanisms by investigating the ethanol-induced changes in hepatic LD proteome as a function of LD size.
