Expression of p15 Protein in the Patients of Cervix Carcinoma

Objective In order to investigate the prognostic value of p15 protein in the prediction for patient with cervix carcinoma.We examined the expression of p15 protein in 36 case of cervix carcinoma by immunohisto-chemical staining.Result p15 protein positive rate was 55.6%(20/36),the expression of p15 protein did not correlate with pathological pattern (P<0.05)，but it correlated with neoplasm invade and with lymphnode metastasis and with survival period of patient (P<0.05). Conclusion p15 protein expression may be a promising predictor for the prognosis of patient with cervix carcinoma.
