IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL EXPRESSION OF Ki67 IN PANCREATIC DUCTAL ADENOCARCINOMA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To describe the immunohistochemical expression of Ki67 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and to analyze the survival time according to the Ki67 index in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Material and method: Case series of 102 cases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma operated at Cho Ray Hospital between March 2017 and December 2022. Results: The mean of the Ki67 index is 17.2±1.4%. The Ki67 index in the group with and without tumor necrosis was 20.5% and 13.3%, respectively; the difference is statistically significant (p=0.006). The Ki67 index at well, moderately, and poorly differentiated grades is 10.7%, 17.0%, and 19.7%, respectively; the difference is statistically significant (p=0.022). The Ki67 index at histological grades 1, 2, and 3 are 6.3%, 17.4%, and 19.3%, respectively; the difference is statistically significant (p=0.002). The mean survival time in the group with Ki67 index <10% and ≥10% was 24.7 months and 23.5 months, respectively; the difference is not statistically significant (p=0.614). Conclusion: Patients with tumor necrosis, moderately and poorly differentiated, and histological grades 2 and 3 had percentages of Ki67 stained cells higher than patients without tumor necrosis, well differentiated, and histological grade 1, significantly. The Ki67 index has not been shown to be a factor affecting the survival time of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
