ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expressions of the FHIT and PTEN genes and their significance in prostate cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expressions of FHIT and PTEN were detected in 85 cases of prostate cancer and 30 cases of benign prostatic nodular hyperplasia by immunohistochemistry of PV-6000.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive expression rates of FHIT and PTEN were 34.1% and 42.4% in prostate cancer, significantly lower than 96.7% and 90.0% in benign prostatic nodular hyperplasia (P <0.01). Statistically significant differences were found in the positive expression rates of FHIT and PTEN among different Gleason grades, 44.4% and 55.6% in well differentiated, 38.9% and 44.4% in moderately differentiated, and 25.0% and 37.5% in lowly differentiated prostate cancer (P <0.05). But the expression of FHIT.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>FHIT and PTEN may play a certain role in the was not correlated with that of PTEN in the prostate cancer tissue (P >0.05). development, progression and infiltration of prostate cancer.</p>
