Abstract:
Objective: To study p16 expression in non-small cell lung cancers(NSCLC).
Methods: 40 NSCLC and its surrounding normal lung tissure were chosed to study the p16 expression with the method of immunohistochemistry.
Results: Obviouse difference of p16 expression was found between NSCLC and normal lung tissure (
P<0.01).There was no difference of p16 expression between subtypes of NSCLC(
P > 0.01).The p16 expression of Low differenciate squamouse cell Ca was much lower than that of high and middle ones(
P<0.01), the p16 expression of Low differenciate adenocarcinoma was much lower than that of high and middle ones(
P<0.01).
Conclusion: The p16 protein expression of NSCLC was much lower than that of normal lung tissure.
