RESUMO
Objective To discuss the significance of abnormal expression of Rb,p53 and PCNA in patients with bladder carcinoma and the correlation with the tumor grade,clinical stage and relapse.Meth- ods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the Rb,p53 and PCNA gene expression in 60 cases with bladder carcinoma.Results The positive rates of p53,PCNA in 60 cases of bladder cancer is both 40.0 %.There were 27(45 %)cases lack of Rb expression.Multiple altered expression was found in 30 cases (50.0 %).The abnormal expression of Rb,p53 and PCNA was closely related to the tumor grade,clinical stage and relapse.Conclusion The detection of multiple gene is more valuable than that of single gene. Multiple altered expression of Rb,p53 and PCNA and their synergistic action might play an important role in the genesis and development of bladder cancer.
