Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein in Prostatic Adenocarcinoma: Correlation with Tumor Grading and Treatment-Related Changes

Table 2

(a) Immunohistochemical results in untreated patients. The association between TCTP protein expression and Gleason score is shown, with higher TCTP protein expression in high Gleason score samples (Gleason score ≥8) (). (b) Immunohistochemical results in treated patients. The association between TCTP protein expression and response to treatment is shown, with lower TCTP protein expression in good responder patients ().

Gleason score		%	TCTP protein expression
			High	Low
6	57	37.3	4 (7%)	53 (93%)
7	52	34	28 (53.8%)	24 (46.1%)
8	25	16.3	24 (96%)	1 (4%)
9	17	11.1	17 (100%)	0 (0%)
10	2	1.3	2 (100%)	0 (0%)

(b)

Response to treatment		%	TCTP protein expression
			High	Low
Poor	51	36.7	50 (98%)	1 (2%)
Moderate	40	28.8	24 (60%)	16 (40%)
Good	48	34.5	2 (4.2%)	46 (95.8%)
