Abstract:
Background and purpose:Regular physical exam became the main means to discover the population with early stage RCC. So far, there have been no reports with large sample that have been published about the biomarkers as predictor for the metastasis of the postoperative patients with stage T_(1-3)N_0M_0 (RCC) in China. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism of metastasis of RCC is not clear. This research was carried out in order to study the correlation between delayed metastasis of early stage renal cell carcinoma after surgical operation and expressions of KAI-1、Ki-67 and HER-2/neu on RCC. Methods:Two hundred and forty-one patients with RCC underwent surgical operations and were pathologically diagnosed as T_(1-3)N_0M_0 stage. Twenty-four patients were found to have metastases after long-term follow-up and their clinical data were reviewed (metastasis group). One hundred and ninety-four patients without postoperative metastases were taken as control group. Twenty three patients were excluded from this study because they were lost to follow-up. The expressions of KAI1、 Ki-67 and HER-2/neu in the samples of the two groups were tested with immunohistochemical staining by PowerVision or EnVision two-step procedure. Significant difference was calculated with Chi square test.Results:The positive expression rates of KAI1、HER-2/neu and Ki-67 in 218 RCC were 82.6%、27.5% and 83.5%, respectively. Both mild (20.8%) and strong positive rates (4.2%) of KAI1 in metastasis group were dramatically less than that in control group (90.2%, 73.7%, P
