BACKGROUND/AIMS: In patients with gastric carcinoma, the prognostic significance of c-erbB-2 oncogene expression was elucidated, but its role in the aggressive behavior of tumors is not clear.
We asked whether or not cerbB-2 gene expression may have predictability with regard to the metastatic potential in 160 patients with gastric carcinoma using a immunohistochemical staining and a multivariate analysis.
c-erbB-2 immunoreactivity was observed in 11% (17/160) of tumors. Patients with c-erbB-2 product positive tumors had a significant shorter prognosis (p < 0.05), and were characterized by a high incidence of peritoneal dissemination (41%), liver metastasis (18%) and lymph node involvement (94%). In the multivariate logistic analysis revealed that c-erbB-2 expression was a significant risk factor related to lymph node involvement (p < 0.01).
Our multivariate analysis revealed that c-erbB-2 expression is linked to the metastatic potential in patients with gastric carcinoma.
背景/目的:在胃癌患者中,已阐明c-erbB-2癌基因表达的预后意义,但其在肿瘤侵袭行为中的作用尚不清楚。
我们采用免疫组织化学染色和多因素分析,探讨160例胃癌患者中cerbB-2基因表达对转移潜能是否具有预测性。
11%(17/160)的肿瘤中观察到c-erbB-2免疫反应性。c-erbB-2产物阳性肿瘤患者的预后明显较短(p<0.05),其特征为腹膜播散发生率高(41%)、肝转移(18%)和淋巴结受累(94%)。多因素逻辑分析显示,c-erbB-2表达是与淋巴结受累相关的显著危险因素(p<0.01)。
我们的多因素分析显示,c-erbB-2表达与胃癌患者的转移潜能有关。
