Abstract
We investigated the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in paraffin sections from 20 cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Follow-up data were available in eleven cases. PCNA index positively correlated with the degree of cellular pleomorphism (grade) of the tumor (p < 0.01), the pathologic stage (p < 0.01) and the poor clinical outcome (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that PCNA may be of prognostic significance in MTC.Entities:
