ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the correlation between expression of proliferation antigen Ki-67, early apoptotic protein M30 (M30CytoDEATH, CK18) and biologic characteristics in endometrial carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>SP immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression of Ki-67 and M30 in 79 cases of endometrial carcinoma respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mean Ki-67 indices varied with histological grading and clinical stage of the tumor, being 20.48 +/- 14.86 in grade 1, 24.12 +/- 14.42 in grade 2 and 38.84 +/- 11.88 in grade 3; 20.65 +/- 13.56 in stage I; 26.92 +/- 14.71 in stage II; and: 35.14 +/- 14.70 in stage III. The mean M30 indices varied with the grading and stage of the tumor, being 1.03 +/- 1.42 in grade 1, 1.03 +/- 1.64 in grade 2 and 1.94 +/- 1.20 in grade 3; 0.30 +/- 0.58 in stage I; 1.66 +/- 1.74 in stage II; and 2.07 +/- 1.62 in stage III.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Ki-67 and M30 indexes are significantly correlated with biologic behavior and prognosis in endometrial carcinoma. There is a positive relationship between Ki-67 and M30 indexes.</p>
