Diagnostic value of the combined use of SATB2 and CDX2 in mucinous carcinoma of colorectal origin
Conclusion
SATB2 is a more sensitive yet less specific marker for diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma of colorectal origin as compared with CDX2. SATB2 in combination with CDX2 increases the accuracy of distinguishing mucinous carcinomas of colorectal origin from mucinous carcinomas of other origins; therefore, SATB2 is considered a useful marker in this respect.
