METHODS:We used tissue microarrays consisting of 26 normal mucosa,50 adenomas,515 adenocarcinomas,and 127 metastatic lesions. Medical records were reviewed and clinicopathological analysis was performed. RESULTS:GLUT1 expression was absent in normal mucosa and low or moderately apparent in 19 cases (38.0%) of 50 adenomas. However,GLUT1 expression was detected in 423 (82.1%) of 515 adenocarcinomas and in 96 (75.6%) of 127 metastatic lesions. GLUT1 expression was significantly correlated with female gender (P = 0.009),non-mucinous tumor type (P = 0.045),poorer differentiation (P = 0.001),lymph node metastasis (P < 0.001),higher AJCC and Dukes stage (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001,respectively). There was a significant inverse correlation between GLUT1 expression and Apaf-1 expression (P = 0.001). In univariate survival analysis,patients with GLUT1 expression demonstrated poor overall survival and disease-free survival (P = 0.047 and P = 0.021,respectively,log-rank test). CONCLUSION:GLUT1 expression was frequently increased in adenocarcinomas and metastatic lesions. GLUT1 expression was significantly correlated with poorer clinicopathologic phenotypes and survival of patients with colorectal adenocarcinomas.展开更多
