It included 56 poorly differentiated squamous cancer, 1 poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, 1 B-cell lymphoma. Clinical staging: II stage 6 cases, III stage 20 cases, Ⅳ stage 24 cases,recurrence 8 cases. The results showed that ER and PR positive rate were 26/58(44.8%) and 28/58(48.3%). The rate has not relation to the age and sex. There was a contrary rela-tion between ER, PR Positive rate and clinical staging and VCA-IgA. When ER, PR were negative and VCA-IgA was 1:40 in IV stage patients, its accorded rate was 9/12(75%); when only VCA-IgA was 1:40, accorded rate was 13/(39.4%). Total CR was 38/49 (77.6%). When both ER and PR were Positive, CR was 79%; when both ER and PR were negative and VCAIgA was 1:40, CR was 58.3%. We regard NPC is belong to high expression tumor of estrogen and progesterone,and positive expression can reflect tumor developing tendency and relate to recent prognosis. The paper suggests that it is possible to treat NPC with the together therapy. Examining ER, PR and VCA-IgA together can improve the analysis of the prognosis of NPC.展开更多

In India, its incidence is rapidly rising over last few decades. Present study is aimed to study the pattern of expression of hormonal receptors and Her-2/neu in invasive breast carcinoma and to correlate estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and Her-2/neu expressions with various clinicopathological parameters. Material and methods: The present study was carried out in Department of Pathology, S.C.B. Medical College, Cuttack in the year 2013 taking consecutive 100 cases. Routine H&E staining for histological diagnosis and IHC analysis for ER, PR and Her 2/neu was carried out in all 100 cases of breast malignancies. Results: 99% of cases are invasive breast carcinoma, not otherwise specify (IDC-NOS). The age ranges from 23 years to 72 years. Majority of tumors are of grade 2 (70%) followed by grade 3 (30%). ER PR and Her-2/neu expression are seen in 45%, 35% and 30% respectively. Triple negative cases comprise 35%. Higher number of grade 2 tumor shows ER, PR positivity as compared to grade 3 tumors. Her-2/neu expression does not show any significant correlation with age or lymph node status of the patient. Conclusion: ER and PR expression in breast cancers in the current study are found to be comparable to the findings of other authors, but the frequency of HER-2/neu expression is slightly higher. Significant correlation is observed between hormonal receptor status and the grade of the tumor. Inverse relationship is found between Her-2/neu expression and ER, PR receptor status. Her-2/neu expression is increased with size and high grade of tumor.展开更多

Methods： With Immunohistochemistry, it was examined to show these tumor markers＇ expression in different epithelial lesions of 40 esophageal squamous cell carcinomas, 14 dysplasias, 14 hyperplasias and 14 normal mucosas. Results： The expression of p73 was 55%, 21%, 0% and 0% in the esophageal carcinoma, dysplasia, hyperplasia and normal mucosa, respectively. The significant difference in expression of p73 （P〈0.001） was observed between the esophageal normal mucosia, hyperplasia, dysplasia and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with Fisher＇s exact test. Difference in expression of p73 （P〈0.05） was observed between the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and dysplasia with X^2 test. The expression of p73 showed non-correlation with the patient＇s age, sex, tumor＇s grade, lymph-node metastasis and invasive depth （P〉0.05）; Similarly, the expression of mutant p53 was 67.5%, 35.7%, 7% and 0%, respectively; In like manner, the expression of ER was 55%, 21.4%, 14.2% and 0%, respectively; The expression of PR was 57.5%,14.28%, 0% and 0%, respectively. The significant difference in expression of PR （P〈0.001） was observed with Fisher＇s exact test. Difference in expression of PR （P〈0.05） was observed between the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and dysplasia with x2 test. The expression of PR （P〈0.05） was correlated with lymph-node metastasis, and showed non-correlation with the patient＇s age, sex, tumor＇s grade, and invasive depth （P〉0.05）. Moreover, over-expression of mutant p53 and p73 showed significant correlation with ER and PR protein＇s positive expression （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： P73 protein may become a new tumor＇s marker to diagnose esophageal squarnous celt carcinoma. Because the expression of p73 protein was closely correlated with ER and PR, they could be simultaneously examined to help to early diagnose, prognosticate and cure esophageal carcinoma.展开更多
