Abstract:

AIM: The aim of this study is to determine the immunohistochemical properties of Ki-67, P53 expression and loss of P16, and to assess their relationship with both clinical parameters and patient survival in DLBCL.
METHOD: Forty patients, diagnosed at the Pathology Department of our institute with nodal DLBCL were selected as the study group. The relationship between P16, P53, Ki-67 expressions and clinical and laboratory parameters like age, gender, performance status, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), clinical stage, presence of B-symptoms, bone marrow involvement, International Prognostic Index (IPI) score, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, extranodal extension, relapse, C-reactive protein (CRP), sedimentation, number of leukocytes in patients and patient survival were then statistically evaluated.
RESULTS: Our results display no statistically significant correlation between P53 expression and loss of P16, Ki-67 proliferation index and clinical parameters and overall survival (p > 0.05).

The only statistically significant relationship was between loss of P16 and stage (p 0.05).
CONCLUSION: According to the results of our study, the loss of P16, P53 gene expression and Ki-67 proliferation index have no effect on life expectancy of patients with DLBCL (Tab. 2, Fig. 2, Ref. 29).
