Mucosal high apoptotic activity and low p21WAF1/CIP1 expression and submucosal low proliferative activity in superficially spreading early gastric cancers: Comparison with the penetrating growth type

In order to investigate cell kinetics and cell cycle regulator protein expression with reference to the growth pattern of early gastric carcinomas (EGCs), we evaluated a total of 240 EGCs with submucosal invasion clinicopathologically and 106 submucosal invasive lesions immunohistochemically. The in...

Zusammenfassung:In order to investigate cell kinetics and cell cycle regulator protein expression with reference to the growth pattern of early gastric carcinomas (EGCs), we evaluated a total of 240 EGCs with submucosal invasion clinicopathologically and 106 submucosal invasive lesions immunohistochemically. The incidence of lymph node metastasis was relatively high (36.4%) in the superficially spreading growth (SUP) type tumors whereas the penetrating growth (PEN) type had a low incidence (5.7%, P
