To investigate the association between proliferating cell nuclear antigen immunostaining and various clinicopathological variables, and its prognostic value in breast carcinoma.
A monoclonal antibody PC10 was applied to formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded tissue in 144 cases of primary breast cancer. PCNA immunostaining was scored by counting 1000 cells; the percentage of positive stained cells was recorded as the PCNA labelling index (PCNA-LI).
The PCNA-LI varied from 0-77% with a mean of 18%. When tumours were separated on the basis of the mean value, 93 had a low PCNA-LI of less or equal than 18% and 47 a high PCNA-LI of more than 18%. There was no significant correlation between PCNA-LI and all prognostic factors included in this study. Moreover, PCNA-LI failed to show any prognostic value for overall and disease free survival.
PCNA immunostaining is not correlated with clinicopathological variables and patient survival in breast cancer.
研究增殖细胞核抗原免疫染色与各种临床病理变量之间的关联及其在乳腺癌中的预后价值。
将单克隆抗体PC10应用于144例原发性乳腺癌的福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋组织。通过计数1000个细胞对PCNA免疫染色进行评分;将阳性染色细胞的百分比记录为PCNA标记指数(PCNA-LI)。
PCNA-LI在0-77%之间,平均为18%。当根据平均值将肿瘤分开时,93例PCNA-LI低,小于或等于18%,47例PCNA-LI高,大于18%。本研究中PCNA-LI与所有预后因素之间无显著相关性。此外,PCNA-LI未能显示出对总体生存和无病生存的任何预后价值。
PCNA免疫染色与乳腺癌的临床病理变量及患者生存无关。
