Expression and clinical significance of p16 and p27kip1 in endometrial carcinoma / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of p16 and p27kip1 in endometrial carcinoma. Methods 65 cases of endometrial carcinoma were examined by immunohistochemical method for p16 and p27kip1. Results The positive rates of p16 and p27kip1 was 47.7 % and 41.5 % respectively. Both the expression of p16 and the expression of p27kip1 were correlated with histologic differentiation. Conclusions p16 and p27kip1 may play important roles in the development of endometrial carcinoma. They were important in predicting the prognosis and directing the treatment of endometrial carcinoma.
