ObjectiveTo find the role of oncogene cmet and suppressor gene p53 in the process of tumor angiogenesis and their clinical significance. MethodsBy immunohistochemical method and computer image analysis technique, microvessel count and cmet, p53 protein expression were quantitatively determined in 80 cases of breast carcinoma and 20 cases of breast fibroadenoma. ResultsThe high microvessel count and the positive expression of cmet, p53 were significantly correlated with histologic grade, lymph node metastasis and the stage of the tumor (P<0.01). The high microvessel count was significantly correlated with the positive expression of cmet and p53 (P<0.01).ConclusionBoth oncogene cmet and suppressor gene p53 modulate tumor angiogenesis of breast carcinoma.
