✦ Synopsis


Multiple genetic changes occur during the evolution of normal cells into cancer cells. It has been reported that both cyclin D1 and p53 genes play major roles in oncogenesis and/or cell cycle control in various cancers. In this study, we examined the overexpression of cyclin D1 and p53 by the immunohistochemical method and investigated the correlation between expression of these antigen and prognosis in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. Disease-free survival was significantly lower in the patients with cyclin D1-strongly positive tumors than in those with cyclin D1-negative tumors. Similarly, disease-free survival of the patients with p53-strongly positive tumors was significantly lower than that of those with p53-negative tumors. Moreover, multivariate analysis indicated that both cyclin D1 and p53 overexpression are independent prognostic factors in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. In conclusion, both cyclin D1 and p53 overexpression may be useful predictors of disease recurrence in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma.

## Abstract __Cyclin D1__ is frequently overexpressed in human neoplasias by gene rearrangement and amplification. In addition, Ras, PTEN and β‐catenin appear to modulate cyclin D1 levels. Since the causes of cyclin D1 overexpression are poorly understood in EC, we investigated whether or not this

p21 WAF1/Cip1 is an inhibitor of cdk/cyclin complexes, and thus regulates the cell cycle. p21 is also related to cell differentiation and is regulated by wild-type p53, although p53-independent regulatory pathways have been proposed. In order to analyse p21 expression as well as its relationship wit
