Objective To investigate the features of extracolonic carcinoma spectrum in Northeast Chinese with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. Methods The extracolonic carcinoma spectrum’s characteristics of 85 families registered in strict conformity with the HNPCC Amsterdam criteriaⅡwere analyzed retrospectively. Results In the 85 HNPCC families, the tumorous patients were 509 cases,the primary tumors were 589 cases, among the total consisted of 219 cases of colon cancer, 91 cases of rectal cancer,and 279 cases of extracolonic cancer, the most common extracolonic carcinoma was lung cancer. Conclusions Extracolonic carcinoma is an important part of cancer spectrum in HNPCC family, and the common extracolonic carcinoma in Northeast of Chinese are lung cancer, gastric cancer, endometrial cancer, liver cancer, and esophagus carcinoma.
ObjectiveTo detect the expressions of NKD1 and APC in breast carcinoma tissues and to explore the clinical significance of their existence and their correlation. MethodsThe study selected 75 patients with breast carcinoma as the observation group, and their corresponding normal breast tissues from the breast carcinoma tissues more than 5 cm as the control group. The expressions of two proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry. Their relationship with the pathological characteristics of breast carcinoma and the correlation of the two proteins were analyzed. ResultsThe positive expression rates of NKD1 and APC in normal breast tissues were significantl higher than those in breast carcinoma tissues (82.67% vs. 36.00%, 89.33% vs. 45.33%, P < 0.05). The expression of NKD1 was not correlated with the age of patients with breast carcinoma (P > 0.05), while correlated with the degree of differentiation, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and remote organ metastasis of breast carcinoma (P < 0.05). The expression of APC was not correlated with the age of patients with breast carcinoma, the degree of differentiation and lymph node metastasis of breast carcinoma (P > 0.05), while correlated with the TNM stage and remote organ metastasis of breast carcinoma (P < 0.05). The expressions of NKD1 and APC in breast carcinoma was positively correlated (r=0.609, P < 0.05). ConclusionNKD1 and APC may be involved in the development and remote organ metastasis of breast carcinoma, and the two proteins may have a synergistic role in breast carcinoma.

Objective To discuss the molecular structures and functions of βCatenin and APC (Adenomatous polyposis coli) genes, as well as the roles they played during the carcinogenesis and progression of tumors. MethodsAdvances in molecular biology and oncology of βCatenin and APC genes in recent years has been reviewed. ResultsHigh expression of βCatenin and APC genes was an early event during the carcinogenesis due to the abnormal regulation of βCatenin and APC genes. But on the contrary, the low expression of these two genes was probably associated with the progression of tumors. Moreover, βCatenin and APC genes could also regulate the expression of p53,cmyc genes and cyclin D1. Conclusion βCatenin and APC genes may play a key role during the carcinogenesis and progression of tumors and modulate other oncogen/suppressor gene and factors.
Objective To investigate the relationship between the expressions of mismatch repair (MMR) genes (include hMLH1 and hMSH2) and clinicopathological features and prognosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Methods Immunohistochemistry method (Elivision-two step) was used to test expressions of hMLH1 and hMSH2 proteins (both hMLH1 and hMSH2 protein-positive delimited as MMR protein-positive) in 48 patients with HNPCCaccording to revised Bethesda guidelines, and analyzed the relationship between the expression of MMR protein and clinicopathological features and prognosis of HNPCC. Results Loss rate of hMLH1 protein (20.83%,10/48) was signi-ficantly higher than that of hMSH2 protein (8.33%,4/48), Ρ<0.05, and positive expression rate of MMR protein was 70.83% (34/48). Expression of MMR protein was related with tumor infiltration depth (Ρ<0.05). Survival rate of patients with expression and without expression of MMR protein was 85.29% (29/34) and 85.71% (12/14), respectively, the survival curves of them didn’t significantly differed from each other (Ρ>0.05). Conclusions Loss rate of hMLH1 protein is higher than that of hMSH2 protein. Expre ssions of hMLH1 and hMSH2 protein are related with tumor infiltration depth, but not related with prognosis.
Objective To analyze the clinical pathological features of patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) in northeast Chinese. Methods The clinical data of 101 probands (HNPCC group) from 1982 to 2011 in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University and Tumor hospital of Liaoning Province and 272 patients with sporadic colorectal cancer (sporadic CRC group) in the same period were collected. The clinicopathologic features were compared in two groups. Results In the HNPCC group, the age of onset was younger than 45 years old in 24 patients (23.8%), proximal colon in 31 (30.7%), multiple primary carcinomas in 26 (25.7%), extracolonic carcinoma in 13 (12.9%), mucinous adenocarcinoma in 32 (31.7%), phaseⅠandⅡin 68 (67.3%), high-middle differentiation in 70 (69.3%), and lymph node metastasis in 33 (32.7%), while in the sporadic CRC group were 12 (4.4%), 54 (19.9%), 15 (5.5%), 11 (4.0%), 30 (11.0%), 127 (46.7%), 152 (55.9%), and 140 (51.5%), respectively. There were significant differences between the HNPCC group and the sporadic CRC group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, extracolonic carcinomas in the HNPCC group were endometrial cancer in 3, bladder cancer in 3, breast cancer in 2, brain tumor in 2, ovarian cancer in 1, gastric cancer in 1, and lung cancer in 1. Conclusions Northeast China HNPCC patients with several particular clinicopathologic features such as early onset, frequent localization in proximal colon, proclivity of synchronous and metachronous tumors, excessive mucinous adenocarcinoma, less poorly differentiated tumors, lymph node metastasis, early stage of tumor, and so on. Therefore, clinicopathologic feature is still a preferred method of diagnosis of HNPCC patients or suspected HNPCC patients.
