简介：目的：探讨survivin在肺鳞癌、腺癌组织中的表达、临床意义及其与P53表达的临床病理相关性。方法：采用免疫组织化学（Envision二步法）检测survivin和P53在65例肺鳞癌、腺癌组织及15例肺良性病变组织中的表达情况。结果：survivin、P53的阳性率分别为58.5%（38/65）、53.8%（35/65）,显著高于肺良性病变组织的0（0/15）、0%（0/15）;survivin表达与肺鳞癌、腺癌的低分化（P〈0.05）、淋巴结转移呈正相关（P〈0.05）,与患者预后负相关（P〈0.O5）;P53的表达与肺癌组织的分化程度、TNM分期及淋巴结转移均有关（P〈0.05）;并且Survivin表达与P53表达呈正相关（P〈0.05）。结论：Survivin的表达与肺鳞癌、腺癌的低分化、淋巴结转移正相关;过度表达提示预后不良;Survivin有望成为肺癌诊断和基因治疗的新靶点;survivin和p53的协同表达可能是促进肺癌的恶性进展的重要因素。
