摘要: bcl-2 protein expression was characterized in a series of 58 astrocytomas from 21 pediatric and 37 adult patients. As part continuing attempt to define relevant prognostic factors which may predict clinical outcome, we have determined the impact accumulation malignant astrocytes on length patient survival. Aberrant overexpression tumor cells detected 57% (12 21) 73% (27 37) cases. Among patients, median survival months showed no relationship with incidence bcl-2-positive tumors. favorable indicator low-tumor grade (P = 0.05). tumors occurred similar frequencies WHO grades III IV malignancy. When tested as variable for survival, 6 patients without among 23 had shorter The same been previously analyzed alterations p53: 4 16 p53 gene mutations. There significant difference related status. between status: approximately equal numbers either wild-type or mutant were negative positive. is high (40–100%) other central nervous system also show low potential. Up-regulation constitutive some types be factor leading more outcome.
