Proliferative potential in pituitary adenomas: Measurement by monoclonal antibody MIB-1

Abstract: The proliferative potential of 45 pituitary adenomas was compared with their biological behaviour as determined by immunohistochemical studies, radiological findings, and clinical manifestations. The PCI (proliferating cell index) as measured using antibody MIB-1 in this study ranged from 0.05 to 4.80%, with an average PCI of 1.49 +/- 0.19% (mean +/- standard error of the mean). There was no significant correlation between proliferation and hormonal state, maximum size, intra-adenomatous haemorrhage, or invasi… Show more

“…8,18) Various attempts have been made to establish markers that correlate with the clinical behavior of pituitary adenomas, such as invasion, recurrence, or malignancy. 1,2,5,[7][8][9][10][12][13][14][15]17,[19][20][21][22][23][24][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Among the available methods of growth fraction determination, Ki-67 is a reliable marker for growth fraction determination of various specific cell cycle antigens. 1,12,32) Ki-67 is a protein which reacts with a …”

“…O tumor no qual se observou apenas invasão era não-secretor e media l,84xl,84cm à tomografia computadorizada (TC). Foi demonstrado que adenomas recorrentes têm taxa proliferativa significativamente mais alta que os tumores iniciais (28). Além disso, adenomas pequenos têm potencial de crescimento limitado quando comparados com macroadenomas invasivos (17).…”
