Abstract
Purpose To investigate the presence of perineural invasion (PNI) and the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) in patients with advanced gastric cancer.To discuss the correlation between PNI and the expression of HER-2 and their prognostic significance.Methods Paraffin sections of surgical specimens from 100 patients who underwent gastric resection were selected,and then PNI were detected by HE staining and the expression of HER-2 were detected by immunohistochemical (IHC).The correlation of perineural invasion with the clinicopathological features and HER-2 expression were performed.Results PNI was positive in 42 cases of 100 patients (PNI positive rate was 42％),the occurrence of PNI has significantly related with lymph node metastases,infiltrating depth,tumor emboli,TNM stage and expression of HER2.The difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Univariate analysis showed that total survival rate of advanced gastric cancer was associated with T stage,tumor emboli,N stage,TNM stage,PNI and HER-2 expression (P ＜ 0.05).The overall survival of the PNI-negative patients was 45.3 months on average,much better than the PNI positive patients who was 15.4months in average (P ＜ 0.05).The overall survival of the HER2-negative patients was 43.2 months on average,much better than the HER-2-positive patients who was 22.7 months in average (P ＜ 0.05).By muhivariable Cox proportional hazards model of overall smvival,the positivity of PNI and HER-2 appeared to be new independent prognostic factors (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The detection of PNI and HER-2 expression maybe helpful for the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer.In addition,HER-2 may be responsible for the presence of perineural invasion.关键词
