Description

UNLABELLED: Ovarian serous cancer is the most common subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer, and is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancer. There is an important need for exploration of diagnostic and prognostic markers for this disease. beta-catenin and cyclinD1 play central roles in the tumorigenesis for certain cancers. The role of beta-catenin and cyclinD1 in diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian serous carcinoma is uncertain. In the present study, the expression of beta-catenin and cyclinD1 was examined in 60 ovarian serous carcinomas patients with immunohistochemical staining. The relationship between expression of beta-catenin and cyclinD1 and FIGO stage, pathological grade was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival function was used to analyze the prognosis. Overexpression of beta-catenin is more often detected in patients with FIGO stage III and IV than in those with stage I, and II (P=0.003). No significant relationship was found between expression of beta-catenin and pathological grade (P=0.817). Positive expression of beta-catenin related to lower survival rate (P=0.034). The expression of cyclinD1 had no relationship with FIGO stage (P=0.829). Overexpression of cyclinD1 was positively to pathological grade (P=0.017) and survival rate (P=0.009). There is a significantly positive relationship between expression of beta-catenin and cyclinD1 (P=0.014). No statistical significance was found between expression of beta-catenin and cyclinD1 and other pathological parameters. CONCLUSIONS: Expression of beta-catenin and cyclinD1 may be used as predict markers for poor prognosis.
