ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the prognostic index for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods The expression of nm23-H 1 protein in the tissue specimens of 115 NPC patients was detected by immunohistochemical S-P staining before radiotherapy. The 115 patients were treated in 1992~1994, underwent the whole radiotherapy, and were followed up for over 5 years. The association of nm23-H 1 protein expression with the clincal staging of NPC, radiosensitivity of tumor, survival rate of patients, and relapse and metastasis of carcinoma was analyzed. Results The positive rate of nm23-H 1 expression in NPC was 47.8%. The tumor clinical staging, lymph nodes metastasis, and patient survival rate were closely correlated with the low level expression of nm23-H 1 protein in NPC. Conclusion The low level expression of nm23-H 1 protein may be associated with the development and poor prognosis of NPC.
