<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the expression of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in colorectal carcinoma and its relationship with the clinicopathological findings.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expressions of MnSOD in colorectal carcinoma, adenoma, and adjacent corresponding intestinal mucosal tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The relationship between MnSOD expression level in colorectal adenoma and clinical parameters was analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of MnSOD was negative in adjacent corresponding colorectal tissues. The positive expression rate of MnSOD was 44% (11/25) in colorectal adenoma and 76% (19/25) in colorectal carcinoma (P < 0.05 when compared with the colorectal adenoma and its adjacent tissues). The expression of MnSOD was positively correlated with histopathological grades (P < 0.05) but not with other clinicopathological findings (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The expression of MnSOD may be associated with the carcinogenesis and progression of colorectal carcinoma, and therefore may be used as a new biomarker.</p>
