Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHOD: The SABC-immunohistochemical method and in situ hybridization were correspondingly used to detect the expression of PCNA and its gene in 48 cases of cancer tissue and 15 cases of nearby cancer tissue of primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma. The number of positive cells of PCNA in 63 cases of tissue was represented by proliferating index (PI). RESULT: The expression of PCNA correlated with the clinical stage, histological grade and clinical recurrence of hypopharyngeal carcinoma and prognosis of the patients, but did not correlate significantly with tumor location and whether metastasis of cervical lymph nodes or not. CONCLUSION:
