Resumo

Introdução: O estudo da imunoexpressão tecidual do receptor do fator de crescimento epitelial (EGFR) pode contribuir para o entendimento de seu papel no prognóstico do carcinoma colorretal. Objetivo: Analisar a expressão imuno-histoquímica do EGFR no carcinoma colorretal e nos tecidos da transição tumor-mucosa e da mucosa adjacente à neoplasia. Métodos: Em 40 pacientes com carcinoma colorretal operados com intenção curativa, estudou-se a imunoexpressão do EGFR com anticorpo monoclonal anti-EGFR. Foram utilizados testes paramétricos e não paramétricos. Resultados: A imunoexpressão do EGFR nas amostras de tumor apresentou diferença significante em relação ao nível de imunoexpressão em espécimes de tecido da transição tumor/mucosa (p=0,01) e no nível de imunoexpressão em tecidos da mucosa adjacente (p=0,04). Conclusão: O EGFR apresentou maior imunoexpressão na mucosa do carcinoma colorretal em comparação à expressão no epitélio de transição e na mucosa adjacente não neoplásica.
