Zusammenfassung: | Background:
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a tumour suppressor frequently inactivated in human cancer and its tyrosine-307 phosphorylation has been reported as a molecular inhibitory mechanism.
Methods:
Expression of phosphorylated PP2A (p-PP2A) was evaluated in 250 metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Chi-square, Kaplan–Meier and Cox analyses were used to determine correlations with clinical and molecular parameters and impact on clinical outcomes.
Results:
High p-PP2A levels were found in 17.2% cases and were associated with ECOG performance status (
P
=0.001) and presence of synchronous metastasis at diagnosis (
P
=0.035). This subgroup showed substantially worse overall survival (OS) (median OS, 6.0
