Abstract: | The prognostic value of p53 protein overexpression was investigated in a large series of early stage endometrial carcinomas with long follow-up (n=179, median follow-up 147 months). P53 overexpression was detected in 10 cases (5.6%). At the end of the study period, 30% (3/10) of patients with p53 protein overexpression had died of their disease compared to 6.5% (11/169) of those without overexpression. Multivariate analysis revealed that only myometrial invasion (RR 2. 1; 95% CI=1.2-3.6; P=0.001) and p53 overexpression (RR 9.5; 95% CI=2. 5-36.8; P=0.007) were independent predictors of survival. These results suggest that immunohistochemical evaluation of p53 protein overexpression provides strong prognostic information for the outcome of endometrial carcinoma patients with early stage disease. |
