Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression and significance of survivin and p63 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of survivin and p63 in the lymphnode tissues from DLBCL patients and lymph node reactive proliferation.Results The positive expression rate of p63 and survivin proteins in DLBCL patients was 63.5 %(33/52) and 76.9 %(40/52), respectively. p63 was not expressed in lymph node reative proliferation. The positive expression rate of survivin in lymph node reactive proliferation was 20.0 %. The expression rates of survivin and p63 between two groups was significant different. The replase rate of groups with positive expression of survivin and p63 were higher than that of the negative groups. The mean survival in groups with positive expression of survivin and p63 were shorter than that of the negative groups. Conclusion Survivin and p63 are useful in therapeutic and prognostic assessment. Patients with poor prognostic can be screened out in the early period of treatment using expression of survivin and p63, which may help to improve the outcome of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
