Methods: By using PCR technique, HPV16 infection in 46 gastric cancer tissue samples was measured and by using immunohistochemical S-P method, the P21 gene mutation in gastric cancer was detected. All patients were regularly followed up for 3 years by writing letter or clinics, to detect the infection of HPV16 by PCR and the p21 gene mutation by immunohistochemical method in 46 gastric cancer tissue specimens. Results: The positive rate of HPV16 was 41.3% and the gene mutation rate of p21 was 52.17% respectively. The recurrence or remote metastasis was observed in 21 of 46 patients. The recurrence rate was 73.68% in the patients positive for HPV16 and 66.6% in those positive for p21 gene mutation. In 8 cases positive for both HPV16 and P21, 6 had recurrence or remote metastasis. Conclusion: The HPV16 infection may be one factor causing gastric cancer and it has a synergistic carcinogenesis with the p21gene mutation. The latter may be one of the prognostic indices in gastric cancer.展开更多
