PG - 2664-7 AB - BACKGROUND: The clinical significance of gamma-H2AX in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has not yet been established. This study was performed to assess the expression of nuclear gamma-H2AX in benign and malignant laryngeal lesions and to assess its clinicopathological significance. METHODS: A total of 70 LSCC tumor-normal tissue paired samples were evaluated for gamma-H2AX expression using immunohistochemical staining. Their expression was correlated with different clinicopathological parameters. RESULTS: Nuclear gamma-H2AX expression was frequently detected in LSCC tissues (P < 0.001). High nuclear gamma-H2AX levels were not associated with any clinicopathological characteristics of LSCC (P > 0.05). Univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that positive nuclear gamma-H2AX expression was associated with a decreased overall survival (P = 0.017). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that nuclear gamma-H2AX expression was an independent risk factor for overall survival. CONCLUSION: The expression of nuclear gamma-H2AX might be closely related to the prognosis of LSCC.
