Abstract

It has been proposed that immunostaining with PC10, a monoclonal antibody against proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), is of prognostic value in gastric carcinoma. Gastric carcinomas from a series of 90 patients in whom survival data were known have been studied. There was no relation between the degree of PC10 immunostaining assessed semiquantitatively and survival.
