This study aimed to identify the prognostic value of tumor markers in olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB).
Seventeen patients with ONB (23 tumor specimens) were included. Each specimen was studied for bcl-2, p53, MIC-2 by immunohistochemistry and for N-myc by chromogenic in situ hybridization.
Twelve (70%) of 17 patients and 15 (65%) of 23 specimens showed positive reactivity for bcl-2. Of seven patients who were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, one patient with diffuse bcl-2 expression achieved complete remission. Another patient without bcl-2 expression had no response to chemotherapy. Five patients who showed partial positivity achieved partial remission. Survival and bcl-2 expression tended to correlate, but it was not statistically significant (P = 0.06). All of the ONB specimens were negative for N-myc. Positive immunoreactivity for MIC-2 or p53 was found only in one specimen.
Bcl-2 expression was commonly found in ONB and the immunoreactivity for bcl-2 might predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In addition, Bcl-2 expression tended to be associated with worse survival.
本研究旨在确定肿瘤标志物在嗅神经母细胞瘤(ONB)中的预后价值。
纳入17例ONB患者(23个肿瘤标本)。通过免疫组织化学对每个标本进行bcl-2、p53、MIC-2检测,通过显色原位杂交进行N-myc检测。
17例患者中有12例(70%)、23个标本中有15个(65%)bcl-2呈阳性反应。在接受新辅助化疗的7例患者中,1例bcl-2弥漫性表达的患者达到完全缓解。另1例无bcl-2表达的患者对化疗无反应。5例部分阳性的患者达到部分缓解。生存与bcl-2表达有相关趋势,但无统计学意义(P = 0.06)。所有ONB标本N-myc均为阴性。仅在1个标本中发现MIC-2或p53呈阳性免疫反应。
ONB中常见bcl-2表达,bcl-2的免疫反应性可能预测新辅助化疗的反应。此外,bcl-2表达往往与较差的生存率相关。
