ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the expression and significance of P-glycoprotein(P-gp) in colorectal carcinoma. Methods The expression patterns of P-gp in 48 patients with colorectal carcinoma were examined by immunohistochemistry SP mothod and were analyzed its correlation to clinic opathological features. Results The expression of P-gp was related to lympy node metastasis. Its expression was not related to sex and age of the patients, localization of the primary tumor, tumorsize, histological grade, localinvasion, distant metastasis and Duke's stage.
