Abstract:
Objective:To study the expression of CD137L in laryngeal carcinoma, and to analyze its clinicopathological significance.Method:The expression of CD137L in 50 laryngeal carcinoma specimens and 9 normal laryngeal mucous tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Result:The positive CD137L staining were found in all 50 cases of laryngeal carcinomas (100%), while its staining were negative in normal laryngeal mucous. There was significant difference between two groups(P<0.01). The positive ratio of CD137L staining had no relationship with the factors such as age, sex and tumor site, while it had significant correlation with the pathological stage,T stage and lymph node metastasis.Conclusion:The expression of CD137L might play an important role in the development of laryngeal carcinomas.
