Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role and clinical significance of the expression of FHIT gene in development and progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC).
METHOD:The expression FHIT protein was detected by immunohistochemistry method in the 52 cases with LSCC and 23 cases of adjacent cancer tissues and 10 cases of laryngeal normal mucosa. The expression of FHIT was analyzed in LSCC with different clinicopathological parameters.
RESULT:The expression of FHIT in normal tissues (90.0%) and adjacent tissues (78.3%) was obvious higher than that in LSCC (46.2%), which had statistical significant difference (P < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between FHIT expression and TNM staging, lymph node metastasis; but not pathological grade.
CONCLUSION:The loss of FHIT expression may be correlated with the development and progression of laryngeal carcinoma. FHIT may be an important tumor suppressor gene in LSCC.
