EXPRESSION OF P53 AND Ki-67 IN BREAST CANCER TISSUES AND ITS CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Objective To investigate the expression of P53 and Ki 67 in human breast cancer tissues and its clinical significance.Methods The expression of P53 and Ki-67 in the breast cancer tissues (n =100) and the normal tissues adjacent to breast cancer (n=50) of 100 patients with breast cancer was measured by immunohistochemistry.Results The expression of P53 and Ki-67 in the breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in the normal tissues (x 2=4.854,6.047;P < 0.05).The expression of P53 and Ki-67 in the breast cancer tissues in TNM Ⅲ stage was significantly higher than that in the breast cancer tissues in TNM Ⅰ Ⅱ stage (x2=4.679,11.360;P<0.05).The expression of P53 and Ki 67 in the involved axillary lymph nodes was significantly higher than that in the normal axillary lymph nodes (x2 =11.081,6.109;P <0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of P53 between the tissues with and without postoperative recurrence (P>0.05).The expression of Ki67 in the tissues with postoperative recurrence was significantly higher than that in the tissues without postoperative recurrence (x2 =5.403,P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of P53 between the breast cancer tissues of different histological grades (P>0.05),but the expression of Ki-67 in the breast cancer tissues of histological grade 3 was significantly higher than that in the breast cancer tissues of histological grade 1-2 (x 2 =7.760,P <0.05).There was a significant positive correlation between the expression of P53 and Ki-67 in the breast cancer tissues (r=0.286,P<0.05).The 5 year survival rate of patients without the expression of P53 and Ki-67 was significantly higher than that of patients with the expression of P53 and Ki-67 (x2 =6.862,7.963;P<0.05).Conclusion The high expression of P53 and Ki-67 in the breast cancer tissues suggests poor prognosis of breast cancer.
