We investigated the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in paraffin sections from 20 cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Follow-up data were available in eleven cases. PCNA index positively correlated with the degree of cellular pleomorphism (grade) of the tumor (p < 0.01), the pathologic stage (p < 0.01) and the poor clinical outcome (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that PCNA may be of prognostic significance in MTC.
我们研究了20例甲状腺髓样癌(MTC)石蜡切片中增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)的表达情况。11例患者有随访数据。PCNA指数与肿瘤的细胞多形性程度(分级)(p < 0.01)、病理分期(p < 0.01)及不良临床结局(p < 0.05)呈正相关。这些发现提示PCNA在MTC中可能具有预后意义。
