Objective To observe the solo-allied expression of Survivin, Smad4/dpc4 and APC gene, and study the relationship between the three genes and biological behavior of colorectal cancer. Methods The expressions of Survivin, Smad4/dpc4 and APC gene were detected by SP immunohistochem-istry among the cases from 40 eu-intestine ,80 large intestinal adenoma and 80 CRC. Results The positive rate of survivin protein in the eu-intestine, the large intestinal adenoma and CRC was 0,35.0% ,75.0% , respectively. The positive rate of Smad4/dpc4 protein was 100% , 95. 0% , 78. 8% , and the positive rate of APC protein was 100% ,80.0% ,45.0% , respectively. In the eu-intestine, APC + Smad4/dpc4 Z- expressed in 40 cases, with the incidence of 100%. In the large intestinal adenoma, APC + Smad4 expressed in 38 patients, with the incidence of 47. 5% , and the three genes expressed in 29 patients with the incidence of 23. 8%. In the CRC, two genes expressed in 57 patients, with the incidence of 71. 3% , and three genes expressed in 28 patients, with the incidence of 35.0%. Conclusion The detection of survivin was a new indicator in early diagnosis of CRC. It was significant in the diagnosis of CRC that energetic search for the positive rate level realm of survivin. The catastrophe or absence of Smad4/dpc4 gene not only induced the genesis of CRC but also encouraged its growth. Smad4/dpc4 was ant- carcinomatous gene intimately correlated to the CRC. Detection of APC gene had very important significance, it could be helpful to conduct the research of tumorous aetiology, nosogenesis and early diagnosis. The allied detection of Survivin, Smad4/dpc4, APC gene played a very important role in early diagnosing and healing the CRC.
