✦ Synopsis


In the search for new risk factors at the molecular and cellular levels, clinical data [lymph-node involvement (LN) and stage] were used and 104 squamous-cell lung carcinomas were analyzed by immuno-histochemistry for expression of cyclin D1, cyclin A, cdk2, cdk4, RB, and E2F1. The results of the univariate analysis of all 8 factors showed that cyclin A and cdk2 gave the best prognostic information, while no prognostic value could be found associated with cyclin D1, cdk4, RB and E2F1. The subsequent multivariate analysis of all possible combinations of the important factors showed that the pairs LN/cyclin A, LN/cdk2 and cyclin A/cdk2, and the triplet LN/cyclin A/cdk2 yielded the best prognostic information. It was essentially better than the information given by a single factor.

Progressive deregulation of the cell-division cycle is thought to contribute to the establishment and progression of neoplasia. Previously, we have documented the in vivo inactivation of p16 INK4A , an inhibitor of G 1 cyclin-dependent kinases, in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region

## Inactivation of the Rb pathway in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) occurs mostly through inactivation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16 INK4A and/or up-regulation of cyclin D1. In order to assess the frequency and the prognostic value of these abnormalities in NSCLC, immunohisto

Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze samples of 40 newly diagnosed childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) for their expression of cyclins (D1, E, A), cyclindependent kinases (cdk2, cdk4) and tumor-suppressor genes (pRb, p16 INK4A ), in order to discover whether or not the expression of th
