Abstract

Abstract: Objective To evaluate Cortactin expression level in the patients with colorectal cancer(CRC) and tumor budding related with the clinical characteristics. Methods The expression of Cortactin and tumor budding levels were detected in 97 CRC patients and the correlations of Cortactin and tumor budding with clinical characteristics were determined. Results Cortactin expression level was significantly related with T stage(P=0.017) and N stage(P<; 0.001) of CRC patients. The patients with higher Cortactin expression level were younger than those with lower Cortactin expression (P=0.043). The tumor budding level was significantly related with T stage (P=0.031), plasma CEA level (P=0.038) and the risk factors of CRC (P=0.008). There was relationship between Cortactin level and tumor budding level in patients with CRC(P=0.011). Conclusions Cortactin expression would be related significantly with the tumor budding of CRC patients. Higher expression of Cortactin suggests the patients poorer prognostic by the mechanism that Cortactin promotes tumor budding and progression of CRC.
