KOLO-REKTAL KANSERLERDE VASKÜLER ENDOTELİAL BÜYÜME FAKTÖRÜ (VEBF) EKSPRESYONUNUN PROGNOZ ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Amaç: Adjuvan tedaviden fayda görebilecek kolorektal kanserli hastaları seçebilmek için histopatolojik evrelemeye ek olarak yeni prognostik belirteçlere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Kolorektal kanserlerde ise anjiogenezin prognoz üzerine etkisi halen tartışmalıdır. Yöntem: Modifiye-Astler-Coller Evre A-B olarak histopatolojik tanı almış 119 hasta belirlenmiş ve düzenli takipleri olan, 41 hasta çalışmaya alınmıştır. Bu hastaların 16 tanesinde lokal rekürrens veya uzak metastaz tespit edilmiştir. VEBF ekspresyonu anti-rabbit immunoglobulin boyaması yöntemiyle belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: VEBF ekspresyonu negatif olan grupta 5 yıllık yaşam %83.33, VEBF ekspresyonu pozitif olan grupta ise 5 yıllık yaşam %82,13 olarak bulunmuştur. VEBF ekspresyonu ile tümör yerleşimi, tümör derecesi, pT evresi, angio-nöral-lenfatik invazyon, lokal nüks ve uzak metastaz ve 5 yıllık sağ kalım arasında anlamlı bir bağlantı tespit edilememiştir. Ancak kitle dışı klinik bulgular ile başvuran hastalarda, sağ kalım açısından anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p=0.003). Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonucuna göre evre A-B kolo-rektal kanserlerde immünhistokimyasal yöntemle anjiogenez belirlenmesinin prognostik önemi gösterilememiştir.
