To evaluate p63 expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and its prognostic significance.
p63 expression was examined by immunohistochemistry and scored in 127 patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas.
Sixty-two cases had scored 3, sixty had scored 2, four had scored 1 and one case did not show any expression (48.8, 47.2, 3.1 and 0.8%, respectively). Overall survival was 73.9% at 24 months and 59.5% at 60 months. The disease-free survival was 77.2 and 75.1%, and the disease-specific survival was 79 and 67% at 24 and 60 months, respectively. Uni- and multivariate analysis identified that decreased immunoexpression of protein p63 was a statistically significant factor for the risk of recurrence and death by cancer.
p63 expression was highly prevalent in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas, and its underexpression was correlated with a worse prognosis.
评估p63在喉鳞状细胞癌中的表达及其预后意义。
采用免疫组织化学法检测127例喉鳞状细胞癌患者的p63表达并进行评分。
62例评分为3分,60例评分为2分,4例评分为1分,1例未显示任何表达(分别为48.8%、47.2%、3.1%和0.8%)。24个月时总生存率为73.9%,60个月时为59.5%。无病生存率在24个月和60个月时分别为77.2%和75.1%,疾病特异性生存率分别为79%和67%。单因素和多因素分析表明,蛋白p63免疫表达降低是癌症复发和死亡风险的一个具有统计学意义的因素。
p63表达在喉鳞状细胞癌中高度普遍,其低表达与较差的预后相关。
