Abstract:
Objective To study the significance of CD24 protein expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and its relationship with clinical pathological parameters and clinical prognosis.Methods The expression of CD24 protein was studied in 90 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma samples by EnVision immunohistochemical analysis and to study relationship of CD24 with clinical pathological parameters and prognosis.Results The expression of CD24 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissue (x 2 =0.832,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of CD24 was not related with the age of patien,sexuality and the histologic grade (x2 =0.741,0.361,0.930,8.858,all P ＞ 0.05),but with clinical stage of the cance (x2 =10.804,P =0.005),lymph node metastasis (x2 =12.349,P =0.000) and depth of tumor invasion (x2 =13.94,P =0.007).Significant difference in survival between the different CD24 expression group,the OR (95 ％ CI) values were 2.105 (61.022-69.273),2.313 (55.108-64.176),1.286 (32.388-37.429),the survival of patients with strong expression of CD24 was inferior to that of weak expression of CD24,depth of tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Conclusion CD24 may be related to the malignant process of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Overexpression of CD24 indicates poor prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.CD24 may become a new independent prognostic factor for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
