Is Ki67 a marker for the transformation of laryngeal dysplasia to carcinoma?

Abstract: Of the 80 cases there were 24 females and 56 males with a mean age of 56 years (range 29-80 years). Twenty cases subsequently transformed to a squamous cell carcinoma. For each Ki67 score (0-4), the rate of malignant transformation was: 0, 1 of 6 patients (17%); 1, 7 of 33 patients (21%); 2, 5 of 22 patients (23%); 3, 4 of 13 patients (31%); and 4, 3 of 6 patients (50%). A higher Ki67 score seemed to correlate with a higher likelihood of malignant transformation but this did not reach statistical significance … Show more

“…In that review, the authors only included 9 articles. Six of these articles were also included in our review [13,[15][16][17][18]23], and three were excluded because they also included invasive carcinomas in their data analysis. The authors made a meta-analysis with p53, the only biomarker with sufficient data to attempt to apply this type of analysis.…”

“…Contradictory results have been obtained for this marker (Tables 1, 2): one retrospective study reported a higher rate of malignant progression in cases with elevated Ki67 expression [15], whereas another reported no prognostic significance for this marker [18], and a case-control study showed a higher Ki67 expression in non-progressing controls [23].…”

“…The management of these identified patients may include chemo-preventive approaches, local surgical therapies such as cord stripping, or laser treatment, in addition to intensive smoking cessation programmes in an effort to prevent the subsequent development of cancer [2][3][4].…”
