Abstract:Abstract:ObjectiveTo study differences in expression of KAI1 and CD44 v6 before and after Gendicine treatment, and to explore the relationship between the expression and the clinical characteristics of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and also the relationship between the expression differences and prognosis.Methods58 NPC patients were randomly divided into two equal groups (treatment group and control group). Expression of KAI1 and CD44 v6 protein in tumor tissue of both groups before and after Gendicine treatment was detected with immunohistochemical SP method. Tumor regression rate and longterm survival rate between the two groups were compared.ResultsAfter treatment, the expression of KAI1 was upregulated and that of CD44 v6 was downregulated in the treatment group with statistically significant differences, while the differences in the control group were insignificant. Local tumor regression rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group. The 3year survival rate and longterm survival in two groups did not differ significantly.ConclusionGendicine therapy can significantly affect the expression of KAI1 and CD44 v6 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and inerease the local tumor regression rate, but can not prolong the survival rate.
