Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To study the expressions and correlation of c_myc and PCNA in Hazak's esophageal cancer tissues, and to investigate the relationship between their expressions and the clinical pathological features. METHODS: We investigated mRNA expressions of c_myc and PCNA in 48 Hazak's esophageal cancer specimens by RT_PCR. The relationship between clinical pathologic features and expressions of c_myc and PCNA mRNA level were analyzed. RESULTS: The positive rates of c_myc and PCNA mRNA in cancer tissues were higher than normal tissues,were 56.3%and 47.9%(P<0.05), respectively. There were significant differences in the expressions of c_myc in the clinical early stage specimens(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The expressions of c_myc and PCNA may be related to the carcinogenesis and progression of Hazak's esophageal cancer. C_myc gene may play an important role in the early stage of Hazak's esophageal cancer.

Key words: esophageal cancer, c_myc, PCNA
