Abstract:
Objective:To assess the expression of Foxp3 in gastric GISTs tissues using immunohistochemistry(IHC) techniques and to analyze whether Foxp3 expression is associated with the clinicopathological factors and prognosis of patients with this disease.Methods:Specimens from 96 patients with gastric GISTs were collected and the expression of Foxp3 in tumor and adjacent normal tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.The association between expression level of Foxp3 with the clinicopathological factors and prognosis of patients were analyzed,respectively.Results:Foxp3 was high-expression in gastric GISTs compared with adjacent normal tissues.Foxp3 expression was positively associated with tumor risk classification,mitotic index,tumor size,tumor necrosis and imatinib administration.Univariate analysis showed that the high expression of Foxp3 was inversely correlated with the overall survival,furthermore,multivariate analysis showed that Foxp3 was an independent prognostic factor for patients with gastric stromal tumor.Conclusion:These results of this study suggested that the high expressions of Foxp3 was associated with a poor prognosis,which may be a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for gastric GISTs.
