Abstract: Objective: To ascertain the possible roles of COX-2,PCNA and p53 in the tumorigenesis and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to evalulate their impact on the prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods: Immunohistochemical assay was used to determine COX-2, PCNA and p53 in all specimens, including 60 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 30 cases of normal nasopharynx. Results: (1) The overall positive expression rate of COX-2, PCNA and p53 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was 90%, 75% and 68% respectively, higher than that in the normal nasopharynx. (2) Intensity of expression of COX-2, PCNA and p53 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was related to tumor stage, tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). (3) Expressions of COX-2, PCNA and p53 were correlated with each other in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. (4) Positive COX-2 and PCNA were associated with a lower 5-year survival and they were significant prognostic variables for recurrence(P<0.05). Conclusion: COX-2, PCNA and p53 may play vital roles in the tumorigenesis and development of the cancer via different methods. Unfavorable prognosis was associated with expression of COX-2 and PCNA while not with p53. Immunohistochemical assessment of COX-2 and PCNA might be a useful molecular marker for predicting prognosis in nasopharyngeal cancer.
