Methods: Expression of cerbB2 and PCNA in 74 cases of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix was examined by immunohistochemistry. Results: The expression of cerbB2 was detected in 34 cases. The positive staining of cerbB2 was associated with increased lymph node metastasis (57.1% Vs 24.0%, P=0.041) and lower 5year survival rate (32.4% Vs 58.9%, P=0.008). The average PCNA labeling index (PCNA LI) was 40.6% (0.1% 91.4%). High PCNA LI was associated with lymph node metastasis (56.4% Vs 38.5%, P=0.016) and lower 5year survival rate (28.7% Vs 64.4%, P=0.005). Positive staining of cerbB2 were associated with high PCNA LI (44.7% Vs 34.6% P=0.003). Conclusions: cerbB2 and PCNA LI were associated with malignant biological behavior and poor prognosis of patients with cervical adenocarcinoma.展开更多
