摘要
应用免疫组织化学(SP)方法研究了14例正常前列腺、56例前列腺增生和33例前列腺癌组织中表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)的表达。结果显示,EGFR分布于上皮细胞;前列腺癌和增生组织中EGFR阳性率分别为939%和875%,均明显高于正常前列腺571%;EGFR表达与癌细胞分化程度有关,各病理分期中EGFR表达也有差别。提示EGFR与前列腺增生及癌变的发生有关,可作前列腺癌生物学行为的判断指标。
he expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was determined in 14 cases with normal prostate and 56 cases with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 33 cases with prostate carcinoma (PC) using immunohistochemical methods.The immunoreactivity of EGFR was located in the epithelial cells.There was significant higher expression of EGFR in PC (93.9%) or BPH (87.5%) than that in the normal prostates (57.1%).There was a significant positive correlation bewteen EGFR expression and tumor grades.The results suggest that over expression of EGFR may play an important role in the pathogenesis of BPH and PC.
