Neoadjuvant therapy has an emerging role in the treatment of high-stage ovarian carcinoma. Some ovarian carcinoma subtypes do not respond well to standard chemotherapy, making accurate subtype diagnosis before starting therapy important. This diagnosis is frequently based on omental biopsy specimens. In particular, with very small biopsies, immunostaining for diagnostic biomarkers may be needed. To assess intratumoral heterogeneity of biomarker expression in pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma, we compared the expression of a set of 10 biomarkers between ovarian and omental sites. Tissue microarrays were constructed from 123 high-grade serous carcinomas with paired ovarian and omental tumor samples. These samples were stained with biomarkers that have been used in ovarian carcinoma subtype diagnosis (WT1, TP53/p53, MUC16/CA125, CDKN2A/p16), and with biomarkers of the tumor microenvironment (CD8, CD163, SPARC, PDGFRB), cell adhesion (CDH1/E-Cadherin), and proliferation (Ki67) as well. Expression frequencies in samples from the 2 sites were compared, as was concordance at the 2 sites for individual tumors. The 2 markers of desmoplastic stromal response (PDGFRB, SPARC) were more frequently expressed in the omentum compared with the ovary (P
