Znaczenie prognostyczne ekspresji cykliny D1 i cykliny B u pacjentów z rakiem krtani leczonych radioterapią
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2009, Vol 63, Issue 2
Abstract
Cyclin B1 and cyclin D1 playing the role of regulatory subunits of cyclin-dependent kinases responsible for progression of cell cycle are involved in carcinogenesis of head and neck tumors. The aim of this study is to investigate their value for predicting clinical outcome after radiotherapy of laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC). Material and methods. The study included 50 patients with LSCC treated between the years 1998 and 2003 with radiotherapy. Tissue samples were studied immunohistochemically for detection of cyclin B1 and cyclin D1 and their expression were correlated with clinicopathological factors, local tumor control and patient survival. Results. Accumulation of cyclin D1 and cyclin B1 were detected in 36% and 48% of tumors respectively. No relationship was observed between immunostaining for analyzed proteins and clinicopathologic factors. Cyclin B1 overexpression was associated with higher rate of locoregional recurrence. Fiveyear disease free survival rate for patients with cyclin B1 positive tumors was 73% v. 84% for cyclin B1 negative patients (p=0,005). Conclusion. The expression of cyclin D1 in LSCC does not seem to have a prognostic signifi cance. Overexpression of cyclin B1 may be an indicator of the risk of locoregional recurrence in patient receiving radiotherapy. Thus cyclin B1 detected by immunohistochemistry can be useful for predicting outcome of radiotherapy in patients with LSCC.
