- Abstract
- The 43 cases of the primary uterine cervical carcinoma were analyzed for HPV type 16/18 infection and also analyzed for overexpression of p53 and c-erb B2 oncoprotein to evaluate theirs oncogenic and clinicopathologic relationships. HPV type 16/18 infection was examined by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and the overexpression of p53 and c-erb B2 protein by using immunohistochemical method. The results were as follow: 1. The HPV infection rate in primary uterine cervical carcinomas was 83.7% respectively.The standard clinicopathologic characteristics(age, histologic type, koilocytosis, mitosis, clinical stage, tumor size, cervical invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, parametrial invasion) were nat significantly correlated with HPV type 16/18 infectivity. 2. The overexpression rate of p53 protein was 72.1% and there was no Significant correlation between expression of p53 protein and the Clinicopathologic characteristics. 3. The overexpression of c-erb B2 oncoprotein was 44.2% and there was no significant correlation between the overexpression of c-erb B2 oncoprotein and the clinicopathologic characteristics. 4. There was no significant correlation between HPV type 16/18 infection and overexpression of p53 and c-erb B2 oncoprotein.
