The surgical treatment of large bowel @entity5 is now the most important therapeutic approach. The aim of our study was to evaluate a possible prognostic implication of ploidy and @entity18962 expression. The study includes 120 non selected @entity1 who underwent surgery for @entity14 . The analysis of ploidy was obtained with cytometric test. The cases with only one gaff G0/G1 were considered as diploid. Patteras with more than one aneuploidic population were classified as multiploidic or poliploidic. While @entity18962 expression was evaluated with a double blind retrospective study by two separate equipe of authors in different centres. @entity18962 positivity degree was classified in 3 classes: absent or weak if < 10%; moderate if 10-50%; strong if > 50%. Forty-two @entity1 (35%) were classified as diploidic; 30 @entity1 (25%) as aneuploidic; 40 @entity1 (33.2%) as multiploidic; in 8 cases (6.7%) the material was inadequate. Among the two groups who evaluated @entity18962 expression the group I a positivity: absent or weak in 32 cases (26.7%); moderate in 62 cases (51.7%); strong in 26 cases (21.6%); while the group II shows positivity: absent or weak in 30 cases (25%); moderate in 52 cases (43.3%); strong in 38 cases (31.7%). We cannot consider ploidy and the @entity18962 research as independent prognostic factor.
