ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Ezrin and ICAM-1 in gastric carci- noma.Methods The expression of Ezrin and ICAM-1 were examined by S-P immunohistochemistry assays in 78 ca- ses of gastric carcinoma.30 cases of nonmalignant tissue and 30 cases of normal stomach.The relationship between them and their pathological characteristics were analyzed.Results ①The expression rates of Ezrin and ICAM-1 were obviously higher in carcinoma group than that of nonmalignant group and normal group(P<0.01),in the lym- phatic metastasis group than that in non lymphatic metastasis group(P<0.05),and in T3.T4 group and than that in T1,T2 group(P<0.05).②The expression level of ICAM-1 was positively related with that of Ezrin(r=0.46. P=0.00).③The test of the expression of Ezrin and ICAM-1 simutaniously could obviously increase the sensitivity and specificy for detecting the metastasis of stomach malignant tumor(P<0.05).Condusion The over expression of Ezrin and ICAM-1 is related to the pathogenesis and invasion as well as metastasis of stomach carcinoma.The combined detection of two markers can obviously increase the sensitivity and specificy for predicting metastasis of stomach carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of radical mastectomy(RM) and extended radical mastectomy(ERM) for stage II, III breast cancer. Methods The 5 year and 10 year survival rates in 691 patients with stage II, III breast cancer treated either by extended radical mastectomy or radical mastectomy were retrospectively analyzed . Out of the 691 patients, 206 stage II cases and 193 stage III cases underwent RM, and 142 stage II and 150 stage III cases received ERM. Results In patients with stage II, III breast cancer located in the central portion or medial portion of mammary, the 5 year survival rates and in stage III patients 10 year survival rate after ERM were significantly higher than those after RM (P
