Immunohistochemical Expression of p16INK4A, Ki-67, and Mcm2 Proteins in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Prognostic Implications and Correlations with Risk Stratification of NIH Consensus Criteria
2006
Background
Inactivation of p16INK4A promotes G1/S progression of cell cycle. Minichromosome maintenance protein-2 (Mcm2), a novel cell proliferation marker, is known to better correlate with clinical outcomes than Ki-67 in many carcinomas. Since gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) sometimes remains challenging in prognostication, we analyzed the utility of these three markers in GISTs.
