Significance of hormone receptor status and tumor vessels in normal, hyperplastic and neoplastic endometrium.

Abstract:

:The aims of this study were to identity the roles of tumor vessels and hormone receptor status in normal, hyperplastic, and neoplastic endometrium, and to explore their relationships with other prognostic factors of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Endometrial curettage specimens of proliferative phase and secretory phase endometrium, simple hyperplasia with or without atypia, complex hyperplasia with or without atypia, and grade 1 adenocarcinoma were examined for estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha), progesterone receptor (PgR), Ki-67 labeling index (LI), cyclin D1, microvessel density (MVD), and area of venules (AV) using an immunoperoxidase method. The results showed high levels of ER alpha in complex hyperplasia, and high levels of PgR in simple hyperplasia without atypia. Expression of ER alpha in the endometrium decreased in a stepwise manner from complex hyperplasia without atypia to grade 1 adenocarcinoma. Expression of PgR in the endometrium decreased in a stepwise manner from simple hyperplasia without atypia to grade 1 adenocarcinoma. In contrast, the expressions of Ki-67 LI, cyclin D1, MVD and AV in the endometrium increased in a stepwise manner from normal, simple or complex hyperplasia with or without atypia to grade 1 adenocarcinoma. These changes may become irreversible on progression from simple or complex hyperplasia to neoplasia.
