The present study aimed at evaluating the expression intensities of the Mcm-2 protein and Ki-67 antigen in squamocellular carcinomas of the oral cavity and comparing their prognostic value.
Forty-nine patients, operated on and treated with radiotherapy for carcinoma of the oral cavity floor and/or the mobile part of the tongue, were retrospectively analyzed.
A significant positive correlation was noted between the expression of Mcm-2 protein and that of the Ki-67 antigen, as well as an absence of such correlations with the remaining examined factors. A significant correlation with worse disease-specific survival period (DSS) in the group of patients demonstrating Mcm-2 protein expression in over 10% of cancer cells was detected (5-year cumulative DSS 50% vs. 76%).
The results suggested that the expression of Mcm-2 protein may be used as a prognostic factor in patients with squamocellular carcinoma of the oral cavity.
本研究旨在评估口腔鳞状细胞癌中Mcm-2蛋白和Ki-67抗原的表达强度,并比较它们的预后价值。
对49例因口腔底部和/或舌活动部癌接受手术及放疗的患者进行回顾性分析。
Mcm-2蛋白表达与Ki-67抗原表达之间存在显著正相关,且与其余检测因素无此类相关性。在癌细胞中Mcm-2蛋白表达超过10%的患者组中,检测到与较差的疾病特异性生存期(DSS)存在显著相关性(5年累积DSS为50%对76%)。
结果表明,Mcm-2蛋白的表达可作为口腔鳞状细胞癌患者的预后因素。
