c-erbB-2, p53, and nm23 proteins as prognostic factors in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma.

Abstract

The overexpression of p53, nm23, and c-erbB-2 proteins was associated with other parameters characteristic of aggressive tumors, such as advanced clinical stage, high grade, and/or presence of vascular invasion. However, this overexpression had no independent prognostic value either for overall survival or survival corrected by clinical stages.
