Predictive value of p53 and bcl-2 expression in breast cancer
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: P53 and Bcl-2 genes products continue to be extensively studied in breast cancer in order to identify prognostic factors and to optimize therapeutic approaches.
Objectives and methods: Immunohistochemistry using the anti- P53 and Bcl-2 antibody was performed on 132 breast carcinoma specimens.
Results: Positive p53 expression was correlated with the bad clinicopathological features. Positive Bcl-2 expression was correlated with the good clinicopathological features. p53 (-) Bcl-2 (+) tends to increase survival time and p53 (+) Bcl-2 (-) tends to reduce the survival time but the difference is not statistically significant.
Conclusions: p53 and Bcl-2 expression are contrast in breast cancer, p53 and Bcl-2 detection provides valuable information for prognosis.
