Predicting Metastatic Risk of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Role of Cell Proliferation and Cell Cycle Regulatory Proteins
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms whose biologic behavior is difficult to predict. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value in GIST of some oncoproteins involved in regulation of cell proliferation. Tumor size, mitosis, necrosis, and p53, c-myc, and bcl-2 protein expression of 32 GIST were studied. Proliferative index was assessed with Ki67. The 32...
