Abstract:
Objective To investigate the features of p53 in gestational trophoblastic tumor (GTT). Methods The p53 was detected Immuno-histochemically in paraffin-embedded tissue of 10 cases of normal placenta(NP), 10 cases of complete hydatidiform mole (CM), 20 cases of invasive hydatidiform mole (IM) and 19 cases of choriocarcinoma(CCA). Results In NP, CM, IM and CCA, the p53 index were 4.12%, 21.68%, 39.61% and 27.39%. There were significant differences between NP and CM (P= 0.004), and between NP and IM (...
