Abstract

We investigated expression of DLC1 and p-FAK proteins in epithelial ovarian cancer using immunohistochemistry method. Results showed that low expression of DLC-1 gene and high expression of p-FAK gene might have a correlation with occurrence, metastasis and infiltration of epithelial ovarian cancer. They might play together an important role in occurrence and development of epithelial ovarian cancer.

 

Key words: Ovarian cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, DLC-1, p-FAK.
