| Popis: | e16507 Background: The aim was to define IHC changes between the two subsequent urinary bladder cancers (UBC). Methods: IHC data on EGFR, HER2, HER3, Ki-67, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 in 113 UHC from 24 male and 9 female patients (1 to six recurrences) were used. Except for the Ki-67 value, other markers were stratified: “0” for no positive cells; “1” < = 10% positive cells; “2” 1%-30% positive cells; and “3” 31%-100% positive cells. Data of consecutive tumors were paired in 80 processes of recurrence (PoR). Changes between the latter and the former tumor were calculated: in +/- % for Ki-67 values, and as integer sums of absolute changes in expression for HER markers and for Lynch markers. EM clustering was applied for recognition of relevant IHC changes. Results: Three aspects were tested: the speed of recurrence, was it the first, or later recurrence and whether PoRs depended on the total number of tumors in that patient. Early and late PoRs clustered along the Lynch score, while the intermediate clustered along the delta Ki-67 value. The first PoRs clustered along the HER score and all subsequent PoRs depended on the Lynch score. Conclusions: Even in this limited group of patients Lynch and HER markers showed complex differences between early and late recurrent tumors. The speed of the recurrence and changes of IHC features depended mainly on the rate of change in Lynch markers, suggesting that they should be tested as predictors of UBC recurrence.[Table: see text] |
