Summary: | Purpose
To investigate the prognostic value of multiple cell cycle-associated proteins in a large series of stage II and III colon cancers.
Methods
From formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor samples of 386 patients with stage II and III colon cancer, DNA was isolated and tissue microarrays were constructed. Tissue microarray slides were immunohistochemically stained for p21, p27, p53, epidermal growth factor receptor, Her2/Neu, β-catenin, cyclin D1, Ki-67, thymidylate synthase, and Aurora kinase A (AURKA). Polymerase chain reaction–based microsatellite instability analysis was performed to allow for stratification of protein expression by microsatellite instability status.
Results
Overall, low p21, high p53, low cyclin D1, and high AURKA expression were significantly associated with recurrence (
