Abstract
Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of P53 and Ki-67 in lung cancer tissues.Methods The expressions of P53 and Ki-67 in 233 specimens of lung cancer were detected by SP immunohistochemistry,and were analyzed with clinical data.Results The positive expression rates of P53 and Ki-67 in lung cancer tissue were 80.7% and 99.6% respectively.In those specimens with positive expression of P53 and Ki-67,44.2% and 57.2% were low level expression respectively.There was no statistical correlation between the P53 expression and histologic type of lung cancer.Unlikely,the positive expression of Ki-67 was high in squamous carcinoma,and was low in adenocarcinoma and abronchioalveolar carcinoma. The expression rate of P53 in lung cancer with metastasis of lymphonodus was 95.0%,higher than that without metastasis.But the expression rate of Ki-67 had no relationship with metastasis of lymphonodus.Conclusions The positive expression rates of P53 and Ki-67 in lung cancer tissue are high,but nearly half are at low level.P53 and Ki-67 may involve in the occurrence and development of lung cancer. The expression rate of P53 is more relevant to metastasis of lymphonodus than that of Ki-67,while Ki-67 expression level is more relevant to histologic type of lung cancer.
