RESUMO

The prognostic value of aromatase, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), HER-2/neu, and p53 expression was determined in endometrioid endometrial cancer. Tissue microarrays were constructed comprising samples from 315 endometrioid endometrial cancer patients. Expression of aromatase, COX-2, HER-2/neu, and p53 was determined by immunostaining and related to classical clinicohistopathologic parameters, in addition to recurrence of disease and survival. Median follow-up time for all patients was 5.0 years. Patients were classified as Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie Obstétrique stage I (59.0%), stage II (17.1%), stage III (19.4%), and stage IV (4.1%). Sixty-five patients (20.6%) developed recurrent disease, and 38 (12.1%) died because of endometrial cancer. Aromatase, COX-2, HER-2/neu, and p53 expression was observed in 133 (42.2%), 107 (34.0%), 17 (5.4%), and 21 (6.7%) tumor cases, respectively. Aromatase expression in tumor cells was related to aromatase expression in stromal cells (P < 0.0001) and to HER-2/neu expression in tumor cells (P = 0.019). Aromatase expression in tumor as well as stromal cells was related to a low stage of disease (P = 0.02 and P = 0.001, respectively), whereas aromatase expression in stromal cells was also related to a low tumor grade (P = 0.021). P53 expression was related to a high stage and a high grade (P = 0.006 and P < 0.0001, respectively). In multivariate analysis, p53 overexpression was independently related to death because of the disease (P = 0.043; odds ratio 3.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.0-8.7). For COX-2, HER-2/neu, and aromatase, no relation with any other histopathologic parameter or survival was found. In conclusion, aromatase and p53 expression are related to tumor grade and stage of disease, whereas p53 is an independent prognostic factor in endometrioid endometrial cancer.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha and -beta and progesterone receptor (PR)-A and -B were determined in endometrioid endometrial cancer, and their prognostic values were assessed. METHODS: Tissue microarrays were constructed from 315 endometrioid endometrial cancer patients. Receptor expression was assessed by immunostaining, and their semi-quantitatively determined expression levels were correlated to classical clinico-histopathological parameters in addition to disease free and disease specific survival. RESULTS: Patients were classified as FIGO stage I (59.0%), stage II (17.1%), stage III (19.4%) and stage IV (4.1%). Sixty-five patients (20.6%) developed recurrent disease and 38 (12.1%) died due to endometrial cancer. In univariate analysis, expression of ER-alpha was related to early stage endometrial cancer (p=0.020), while expression of ER-alpha, PR-A and PR-B was associated with lower grade tumours (p<0.0001, p<0.001 and p=0.001 respectively). A ratio of ER-alpha/ER-beta <1 was related to a shorter disease free survival (p=0.027), while the ratio of PR-A/PR-B <1 both was associated with a shorter disease free survival as well as a shorter overall survival (p=0.044 and p=0.005, respectively). In early stage disease, using multivariate analysis, absence of ER-alpha was independently related to death of disease (p=0.017, OR 7.28, 95% CI 1.42-37.25), while absence of PR-A (p=0.015, OR 4.2, 95% CI 1.32-13.33) appeared to be an independent prognostic factor for relapse of disease. CONCLUSION: We conclude that in early stage endometrioid endometrial cancer absence of PR-A is an independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival, while patients with ER-alpha positive tumours have a better overall survival.
