| Popis: | Introduction: Even among low grade bladder tumors, there are some which have been found to carry bad prognosis for progression, recurrence and survival. Accurately pinpointing these cases at the time of diagnosis just with the help of routine histopathology is problematic. Ki-67 immunostaining may potentially be of help in identifying such cases, making administration of additional treatment modalities like chemotherapy and radiotherapy possible. There is scarcity of such studies in our country. The present study aims to correlate Ki-67 labeling index with the histopathological type and grade, pathological stage and mitotic index of urinary bladder tumors. Objective: Objective of the study is to consider the possibility of using Ki-67 labeling index to identify those low grade urinary bladder tumors which carry bad prognosis. Materials and Methods: All trans-uretheral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) specimens in our institute were analyzed for their histopathological grade, pathological stage, mitotic index and Ki-67 labeling index in the period extending from from August 2015 to December 2016. The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively and statistically. SPSS Version 23 (SPSS Inc.,Chicago, IL, USA) software was utilized for all statistical analyses. Chi-square analysis was utilized for comparison of groups. Results with P |
