ABSTRACT

Objective To study the expression of hMLH1, hMSH2 and their association with clinico-pathological characteristics in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods The expression of hMLH1 and hMSH2 in 37 HCC tissues was detected by SABC immunohistochemistry. Results The positive rate (score) of hMLH1 and hMSH2 expression in HCC was 48.7%(1.65?1.70) and 59.5%(2.30?1.96), respectively, which was obviously lower than that in the adjancent tumor tissues with 83.8%(3.30?1.37), and 86.5%(4.30?2.01), and in the normal liver tissues with 88.2%(3.88?1.98) and 82.3%(4.29?1.83), respectively(P
