Abstract

The prognostic value of the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 and the p53 tumour suppressor gene was examined using immunohistochemistry in 60 patients with laryngeal cancer. Multivariate analysis using Cox's proportional hazard method, showed that p21 expression (P = 0.02) and advanced T stage (P = 0.003) significantly predicted survival. It was concluded that p21 expression may be a useful prognostic indicator in laryngeal cancer.
