The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between survival and erb-b2 immunohistochemical staining in patients with early stage cervical carcinoma.
Archival specimens for 126 patients with stage IB/IIA cervical carcinoma treated with radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic node dissection (RH-BPND) were retrieved and submitted to immunohistochemistry for ERBB2 expression. The association between positive results and poor survival was assessed in a multivariate analysis.
Erb-b2 immunostaining was significantly associated with poor survival (P = 0.0284) but less so than parametrial extension (P = 0.0014) and nodal disease (P = 0.0106). Tumor type (squamous/adenosquamous/adenocarcinoma) and the status of surgical margins were not significantly associated with survival.
These results supported further investigations of ERBB2 expression as a marker of high-risk disease in patients treated with RH-BPND.
本研究旨在评估早期宫颈癌患者的生存率与erb-b2免疫组化染色之间的关系。
检索126例接受根治性子宫切除术和双侧盆腔淋巴结清扫术(RH-BPND)治疗的IB/IIA期宫颈癌患者的存档标本,并进行ERBB2表达的免疫组化检测。在多因素分析中评估阳性结果与生存率低之间的关联。
erb-b2免疫染色与生存率低显著相关(P = 0.0284),但相关性低于宫旁组织浸润(P = 0.0014)和淋巴结疾病(P = 0.0106)。肿瘤类型(鳞状/腺鳞/腺癌)和手术切缘状态与生存率无显著相关性。
这些结果支持进一步研究ERBB2表达作为接受RH-BPND治疗患者高危疾病标志物的可能性。
