ABSTRACT

Objective To study the expressi on of thrombomodulin (TM) in endometrial carcinoma and explore its relation to the infiltration degree and histological grading of endometrial carcinoma. Methods The expression of TM was detected by immunohistochemistry in 50 cases of endometrial adenocarcinoma, 10 cases of endometrial complex hyper plasia and 10 cases of normal endometrium. Results The posi tive rate of TM in endometrial carcinoma was significantly higher than that in c omplex hyperplasia and normal endometrium (P 0.05). Conclusion TM can be used as a new index for judging progre ssion and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma.
