ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between clinical-biological significance and the expression of CD44v6 and Survivin in multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods Immunohistochemical SP method was used to investigate the expression of CD44v6 and Survivin in 47 cases of multifocal PTC and adjacent tissues, and 122 cases of single focal PTC tissues. The expression of CD44v6 and Survivin and the risk factors among different clinical factors were analyzed between solitary PTC and multifocal PTC group. Results Tumor foci were found in 27.8 % (47/169) patients. The patients with multifocal were characterized by a higher ratio of family history of thymid tumor, lymph node metastasis and extra-thymidal extension (χ2 = 4.189, 6.159, 4.079, P <0.05), and not related with sex, age, size and the number of the tumors (P >0.05).The positive rates of CD44v6 and Survivin were 70.2 % (33/47) and 66.0 %(31/47), respectively, in multifocal PTC, both of which were significantly higher than that in nodular goiter,Hashimoto' s thyroiditis and normal thyroid tissues (χ2 =47.184, P <0.05). Overexpressions of CD44v6 and Survivin in multifocal PTC were related to the degree of the infiltration(χ2 = 4.723, P =0.030; χ2 =4.023,P =0.045) and lymph node metastasis (χ2 =5.771, P =0.016; χ2 =5.686, P =0.017), and not related with sex,age, family history and the number of the tumors (P >0.05).The expression of CD44v6 was correlated positively with Survivin (r =0.514, χ2 =10.15, P <0.01).There was no significant difference in expressions of CD44v6 and Survivin between multifocal and single focal PTC (P >0.05).By the sept.2010, the patients with single and mutiple focal PTC were all survival.Conclusion Multifocus is one of the clinical features of PTC.The high expressions of CD44v6 and Survivin in multifocal PTCs relate to the development, invasion and metastasis.
