Indici di proliferazione (Ki 67,TLI) ed espressione della p53. Esperienza personale: Proliferation indices (Ki 67,TLI) and p53 expression. Personal experience
The Authors report their experience on the study of urothelial bladder cancer by determining the overexpression of p53, DNA-content by flow-cytometry, Ki 67, TLI and cytofluorimetric S-phase in 81 patients. Ki 67, DNA content and p53 overexpression are statistically related with histologic grade, unlike TLI and S-phase. TLI, overexpression of p53 and Ki 67 are statistically related with stage, whereas ploidy and S-phase do not show any relation with stage. The Authors discuss these findings.
