To study p53 and HER-2/neu expression in borderline ovarian tumors (BLOT) by assessing their frequency, coexpression, and relationship to histologic type, FIGO stage, tumor recurrence, and survival.
Forty-two patients with confirmed BLOT (25 serous, 13 mucinous, and 4 seromucinous) were followed for 1.5 to 14 years (mean, 6.3). Thirty (71%) patients had FIGO stage I and 12 (29%) had FIGO stage III disease. Paraffin-embedded sections from the 42 BLOT, 5 normal ovaries, and 10 benign ovarian cystadenomas were stained using monoclonal antibodies against human p53 (DAKO-p53, DAKO, Denmark) and HER-2/neu (C-erB-2, Triton, Parkway, CA). Positive staining was semiquantitated depending on the number of positively stained tumor cells. p53 and HER-2/neu overexpressions were correlated to each other, to histologic subtype, stage, tumor recurrence, and survival.
None of the patients had tumor recurrence. The 5- and 10-year disease-free survival was 100%. None of the normal ovaries or ovarian cystadenomas demonstrated overexpression of p53 or HER-2/neu. Ten (24%) BLOT demonstrated overexpression of p53 and 9 (21%) demonstrated overexpression of HER-2/neu. HER-2/neu overexpression was significantly greater in stage III than in stage I tumors (P = 0.0157). Seromucinous BLOT demonstrated significantly greater p53 overexpression compared with other histologic subtypes (P = 0.030). Coexpression of p53 and HER-2/neu occurred in 4 patients (9.5%). There was no significant correlation between the overexpression of p53 and HER-2/neu (P = 0.180) and no significant relationship between p53 and HER-2/neu overexpression and the presence of microinvasion, ability to perform optimal cytoreductive surgery, tumor recurrence, or survival.
p53 and HER-2/neu overexpression occurred in about 20-25% of BLOT overall and more commonly in seromucinous and advanced stage tumors. Coexpression occurred in 9.5% of the cases with no significant correlation between the expression of p53 and HER-2/neu.
通过评估p53和HER-2/neu在卵巢交界性肿瘤(BLOT)中的表达频率、共表达情况及其与组织学类型、国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)分期、肿瘤复发和生存的关系,对其进行研究。
42例确诊为BLOT的患者(25例浆液性、13例黏液性和4例浆液黏液性)接受了1.5至14年(平均6.3年)的随访。30例(71%)患者为FIGO I期,12例(29%)为FIGO III期疾病。对42例BLOT、5例正常卵巢和10例良性卵巢囊腺瘤的石蜡包埋切片,使用抗人p53(DAKO-p53,丹麦DAKO公司)和HER-2/neu(C-erB-2,美国加利福尼亚州帕克维尤市Triton公司)的单克隆抗体进行染色。根据阳性染色肿瘤细胞的数量进行半定量。p53和HER-2/neu的过表达相互关联,并与组织学亚型、分期、肿瘤复发和生存相关。
所有患者均无肿瘤复发。5年和10年无病生存率均为100%。正常卵巢或卵巢囊腺瘤均未显示p53或HER-2/neu过表达。10例(24%)BLOT显示p53过表达,9例(21%)显示HER-2/neu过表达。HER-2/neu过表达在III期肿瘤中显著高于I期肿瘤(P = 0.0157)。与其他组织学亚型相比,浆液黏液性BLOT显示出显著更高的p53过表达(P = 0.030)。4例患者(9.5%)出现p53和HER-2/neu共表达。p53和HER-2/neu的过表达之间无显著相关性(P = 0.180),p53和HER-2/neu过表达与微浸润的存在、能否进行最佳细胞减灭术、肿瘤复发或生存之间也无显著关系。
总体而言,约20%-25%的BLOT出现p53和HER-2/neu过表达,在浆液黏液性和晚期肿瘤中更常见。9.5%的病例出现共表达,p53和HER-2/neu的表达之间无显著相关性。
