Carcinomas of the intestinal type were more frequently CD44s and CD44v6 positive than carcinomas of the diffuse type (p = 0.034 for CD44s and p = 0.022 for CD44v6). The reactivity to these two antibodies did not correlate with histopathological and clinical prognostic factors in intestinal-type carcinoma. In contrast, expression of CD44v6 was associated with infiltrative tumor growth (p = 0.021), depth of invasion (p = 0.012), lymph node involvement (p = 0.005) and a higher incidence of distant metastasis (p = 0.069) in cancers of the diffuse type. CD44s-expressing diffuse-type tumors had a higher incidence of distant metastasis at presentation (p = 0.001), but expression of CD44s was not correlated with other clinicopathologic indices. For all cases, there was a nonsignificant association between CD44s expression and poor survival. Unexpectedly, there was also no significant difference in survival regarding expression of CD44v6 for all cases or the diffuse-type subset. This study showed The role of CD44v6 in invasion and metastases of diffuse-type gastric carcinoma and demonstrated the necessity of subclassifying tumor types when studying the clinical significance of CD44 in human cancers. |
