چکیده

nucleolar organizer regions are loops a/nuclear dna related to ribosomal dna, and their number in cells is believed to indicate cellular proliferative activity. using_a silver staining methodto visualize thesestructures inparaffin embeddedtissue sections, an attempt was made to determine ifthese agnor counts could be used as a diagnostic toolfor serous borderline tumors of the ovary. ten cases in each group a/benign, borderlineand malignantserous ovarian tumorswereselectedand themean numberofagnorwas determined in all cases. a progressive increase in mean agnorvalues was naedfrom the benign l oup towards the borderlinegroup and further to the carcinomagroupi the differences between the means in. each gr~uwere statistically significant however, there was a high ee of overlap between the values ofthe borderline and . ant groups. theseresults indicatethat agnorcountsmaynot be very useful as a diagnostic tool in an individual case.

The study of p53 and p16 immunoexpression in serous borderline and malignant ovarian tumors.

The study assessed p53 and p16 immunoexpression in 20 cases of ovarian serous carcinomas and four cases of serous borderline tumors, the results being statistically analyzed in relation to clinicopathological data of the cases. The p53 immunoreaction was observed in 85% of cases, the medium percentage of positivity being 15% for borderline tumors, 45% for low-grade carcinomas and 60% for high-g...

Prognostic significance of p53 expression in advanced-stage ovarian serous borderline tumors.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of p53 overexpression in the primary ovarian tumors of patients with stages II and III serous borderline tumors (SBTs) and to determine the relationship between p53 overexpression and risk of progression/recurrence and survival. Of 112 patients with stages II-IV SBTs, paraffin-embedded tissue from the primary ovarian tumor was available...
