    Author: Cao LQ, Chen XM, Li X.
    Journal: Hunan Yi Ke Da Xue Xue Bao; 2000 Apr 28; 25(2):188-90. PubMed ID: 12212220.
    Abstract:
    The expressions of bcl-2 and nm23 protein in epithelial ovarian carcinoma were analyzed by immunohistochemical method. The results were that 1. the positive expression of bcl-2 protein was 60% (27/45) in epithelial carcinoma; the positive expression of bcl-2 protein in Grade I was 31.25% (5/16), in Grade II 57.14% (8/14), in Grade III 93.33% (14/15) and there were significant differences among them (P < 0.05); 2. the positive expression of nm23 protein was 40% (18/45) in epithelial carcinoma; the positive expression of bcl-2 protein in Stage I/II was 57.1% (12/21), in Stage III/IV 25% (6/24), and there was significant difference between them (P < 0.05). We conclude that the expressions of bcl-2 and nm23 protein are associated with tumor differentiation and clinical stage respectively. Analyzing the expressions of bcl-2 and nm23 are beneficial to the prognosis of the ovarian tumor patients.
