Basic information

Biomarker: AgNORs

Histology type: endometrial carcinoma

Stage: early stage

Cohort characteristics

Country: Argentina

Region: Buenos Aires

Study type: prospective study

Followed up time :

Total number Group I Group I number Group II Group II number Group III Group III number Group IV Group IV number
13 EC 3 cervical cancer  10

Sample information

Conclusion: AgNORs as an early marker of sensitivity to radiotherapy in gynecologic cancer

Sample type : tissue

Sample method: silver stained

Expression pattern : PI ≥ 150

Expression elevation: AgNORs were counted in 100 nuclei of silverstained cell smears under a light microscope at a magnification of 400 ×. AgNORs were counted in keeping with the methods of Crocker et al and Aubele et al. Fifty normal cervical smear samples were evaluated the same way.(PI = preradiotherapy AgNOR counts ×% reduction in AgNOR counts after the first fraction.)
