The pathology of cervical HPV infection is detected by three types of epithelial-mesenchymal spheroidal structures: reparative, neoplastic and cancerous involved in reparation processes and in tumor growth. Cancer spheroids are different from neoplastic not only larger in size but also a tendency to merge, and high expression of p53. Expression of tumor markers p53, p16 and Ki-67 could be used in the early differential diagnosis of precancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.

e17018 Background: Polycomb group proteins are transcriptional repressors that silence specific sets of genes through chromatin modification. The enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), considered a member of the polycomb group proteins, is overexpressed in aggressive forms of several malignancies. However, the role of EZH2 expression in head and neck cancer has not yet been fully determined. This study was conducted to investigate the clinical value of EZH2 expression in head and neck cancer and its correlation with Ki-67 and p53 expression. Methods: Expression of EZH2, Ki-67, and p53 was determined by immunohistochemical staining of tissue microarrays from specimens of 138 cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Results: High EZH2 expression was observed in 51.5%. 44.2% were positive for p53. The percentage of Ki-67 staining was significantly greater in the EZH2 positive group (12.37 ± 8.51) than in the EZH2 negative group (4.73 ± 6.06, p < 0.001). EZH2 expression was significantly correlated with p53 expression (p = 0.003) and smoking history (p = 0.021). However, we found no significant differences in other clinicopathological parameters (age, sex, primary tumor size, and lymph node metastasis) and survival between the EZH2 positive and negative groups. Conclusions: These results suggest that high EZH2 expression may be associated with tumor cell proliferation and cell cycle regulation in head and neck cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e14639 Background: Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) and CYFRA 21-1 have been reported as useful tumor markers for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but no information has yet been reported about the relationship between these serum tumor markers and tissue proliferative activity (Ki-67). The aim of this study was to compare SCCA, CYFRA 21-1 and Ki-67 with clinicopathological factors and survival in locally advanced ESCC patients. Methods: Pre-treatment SCCA and CYFRA 21-1 serum levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassays while the expression of tissue Ki-67 activity was calculated by immunohistochemical nuclear staining on paraffin-embedded tumor samples of locally advanced ESCC patients. The association between these biomarkers, clinicopathological factors, and overall survival were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model. Results: 166 locally advanced ESCC patients from our institution (2002-6) were evaluated. Their median age was 62 years (39-90), M:F 144:22, location of tumor (upper:middle:lower 31:83:53) and histological grade (well:moderate:poor 50:73:43). 43% had received surgery, 22% chemoradiation and 35% best supportive care. Follow-up times ranged from 2 months to 38 months, and the median survival was 11.0 months. Elevated SCCA (>1.5 ng/mL) and CYFRA 21-1 (>3.5 ng/mL) before treatment were found in 79.1% and 50.4% of the patients, respectively, while 42.6% had both serum markers elevated. The SCCA and CYFRA 21-1 levels were not correlated (p=0.128) to each other, nor either to age, sex, T, N, M, location, grade or Ki-67. High Ki-67 expression levels were significantly correlated with T4 (p=0.010), M1 (p=0.010) and poor grade (p=0.015) but not to age, sex, N or location. Levels of SCCA, CYFRA 21-1 and Ki-67, alone or in any combination, were not correlated to survival of patients. Conclusions: This study suggests that the evaluation of SCCA and CYFRA 21-1 are of no particular correlation to clinicopathological factors and survival in locally advanced ESCC, but Ki-67 is correlated with T, M and grade.

Latar belakang: Karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher merupakan salah satu kanker terseringdi seluruh dunia. Pendekatan pengobatan agresif dan multidisiplin telah dilakukan, namun belum adapeningkatan yang signifikan dalam kelangsungan hidup 5 tahun, selama 20 tahun terakhir. Kegagalanpengobatan terjadi dalam bentuk kekambuhan lokoregional, metastasis jauh, dan/atau tumor primer kedua.Berbagai penanda molekular tumor telah diteliti untuk mengetahui potensinya dalam memprediksi hasilpenyakit atau respon terhadap terapi.Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan ekspresi protein p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc,dan MMP-9 berdasarkan gambaran klinikopatologis karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher di RumahSakit dr. Zainoel Abidin.Metode: Studi menggunakan desain cross sectional. Sampel terdiri dari 60blok parafin karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher. Prosedur pewarnaan imunohistokimia dilakukandengan menggunakan antibodi monoklonal terhadap p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, dan MMP-9. Ekspresi proteinp53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, dan MMP-9 dianalisis secara imunohistokimia pada karsinoma sel skuamosa kepaladan leher kemudian hasilnya dihubungkan dengan parameter klinikopatologis seperti usia, jenis kelamin,lokasi tumor, diferensiasi tumor, metastasis kelenjar getah bening dan stadium tumor, kemudian dianalisisstatistik dengan Chi square.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan bermakna tingkatekspresi p53 dengan metastasis lokal (p=0,021) dan ada hubungan bermakna tingkat ekspresi MMP-9dengan lokasi tumor (p=0,026). Tidak terdapat hubungan ekspresi p53, Bcl-2, cMyc, dan MMP-9 terhadapusia, jenis kelamin, stadium tumor, diferensiasi histologi, tingkat T, N, dan metastasis jauh.Kesimpulan:Ada hubungan ekpresi p53 dengan metastasis kelenjar limfe regional dan ekspresi MMP-9 dengan lokasitumor pada karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher. Kata kunci: Karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher, p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, MMP-9 ABSTRACTBackground: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most commoncancers world wide. Although aggressive and multidisciplinary approach to the treatment has been done,there is no significant improvement in 5-year survival in the last 20 years. Treatment failure occurredin the form of locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, and/or a second primary tumor. A variety oftumor molecular markers have been studied to determine their potential in predicting disease outcome orresponse to the therapy. Purpose: To investigate correlation p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, and MMP-9 expressionto clinicopathologic parameter in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patient in dr. Zainoel Abidinhospital. Methods: Cross sectional design study. The sample was consisted of 60 paraffin blocks ofhead and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Procedure of immunohistochemical staining used monoclonalantibodies against p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, and MMP-9. Expression of p53 protein, Bcl-2, c-Myc, and MMP-9were analyzed by immunohistochemistry in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Then, the results were linked to clinicopathologic parameters such as age, sex, tumor location, tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and tumor stage, and statistically analyzed with Chi square. Results: The resultsshowed there were significant correlation between p53 expression level with local metastasis (p=0,021)and significant correlation of MMP-9 expression levels with tumor location (p=0,026). There were norelationship of p53, Bcl-2, cMyc and MMP-9 expressions based on age, sex, stage tumor, histologicdifferentiation, level of T, N, and distant metastases. Conclusion: There were relationships between p53expression with local metastasis and MMP-9 expression with tumor location in head and neck squamouscell carcinoma. Keywords: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, MMP-9
