GUTIERREZ, Yraima et al. Análisis inmunohistoquímico de P53, CERB-B2, EGFR y PCNA en cáncer gástrico. Gen [online]. 2006, vol.60, n.3, pp.183-188. ISSN 0016-3503.

Many genetic abnormalities have been reported in gastric cancer. We study the immunoexpression of p 53, Cerb B2, PCNA and EGFR in different types of gastric cancers. 65 cases (37 men and 25 women) with a rate of 54.5 years old with early and advanced gastric cancer from the records of our institute, 89.2% were advanced cases, 37cases positive to p53, 24 cases positive to EGFR and 55 cases positive to PCNA. Histological diagnosis was made according to the Japanese classification, 8 cases (12%) were moderately differentiated adenocarcinomas, 7(10.8%) poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas with a solid pattern type, 8(12.3%), poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with a non solid pattern type 1(1.5%), papillary adenocarcinomas 12 (18.5%), signet-ring cell carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma 12 (18.5%). We also found 3(4.6%) lymphoepithelioma. According to Lauren's classification 23(35.4%) cases were intestinal type, 22(41.5%) cases diffuse type, 14(21.5%) not otherwise specified and 1 case mixed (intestinal and diffuse type). The expression of tumor Suppressors Genes, Growth Factors Genes and Proliferative Genes are frequently expressed in gastric cancer, but there are no correlations with clinical and pathological stages in this study.
