WANG Lu-ying, et al. FOXC1 expression in cervical cancer and endometrial cancer[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 2010,35(4):497-500. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.2010.04.034.
Objective:To investingate potential correlations between FOXC1 expression and clinicopathologic features of endometrial cancer and cervical cancer.Methods:FOXC1 protein expression in 54 cases of cervical cancer and 23 of endometrial cancer were investigated with immunohistochemistry.Results:FOXC1 protein expression was observed in cancer tissues
including both endometrial and cervical cancer.Positive FOXC1 expression was revealed in 20(87.0%)of endometrial cancer and 29(53.7%)of cervical cancer.Significant correlation in retrospective study was observed between FOXC1 protein expression and histological grades(P<0.05)in cervical cancer.No significant association was shown between FOXC1 protein expression in cervical cancer and clinicopathological factors including pathological types
FIGO stages
lymph node metastasis and etc.No significant association was shown between FOXC1 protein expression in endometrial cancer and clinicopathological factors including pathological types
histological grades
FIGO stages
myometrial invasion and involvement of cervix and adnexa
and lymph node metastasis(P>0.05).Conclusion:FOXC1 may play a role in tumorigenesis of cervical cancer.FOXC1 may have no correlation with tumorigenesis of endometrial cancer.
