Prognostic value of P53 nuclear overexpression in bladder cancer
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Urinary bladder cancer is one of the common genitourinary malignancy presenting to the urology department. Prognosis of these patients will depend upon the number of clinicopathological factors. Overexpression of p53 is associated with aggressive behaviour of bladder cancer. The purpose of the present study is to assess the role of p53 tumour suppressor gene as an independent prognostic marker. Materials & Methods: Thirty-three (33) consecutive cases of urinary bladder cancer attending Department of Urology between August 2006 to December 2008 were studied. In this study P53 protein, nuclear over expression was assessed in Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections by the immunohistochemical method using monoclonal antibody. This p53 nuclear over expression was correlated with tumour grade and stage. Over all survival rate was assessed in p53 positive and negative patients. Results: Two patients with T1G1 tumours developed recurrence with initial TURBT and intravesical BCG instillation after 6 months and responded to Re TURBT and intravesical BCG instillation therapy. One patient of T1G3 developed recurrence after 1 year with initial TURBT and intravesical BCG instillation and responded to Re TURBT and intravesical BCG instillation therapy. One patient of T1G3 progressed to muscle invasive disease after 1 year and underwent Radical cystoprostatectomy with ileal conduit received adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Two patients developed post-operative urinary leak and underwent bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy. Nine patients died in followup period. Conclusion: There was a strong positive correlation between the expression of mutant p53 and tumour grade, with none of the low-grade tumours were positive for mutant p53, in contrast to 60% of high-grade tumours. In this study, there was no significant difference in the mortality between p53 positive and negative patients.
