Abstract:Objective To investigate the expression of Ezrin and Survivin in primary liver cancer and its correlation with metastasis. Methods A total of 98 paraffin-embedded specimens of primary liver cancer were surgically removed from March 2014 to May 2018. Among these, 58 cases were metastasized and 40 cases were non-metastatic. Nine cases of normal liver tissue were collected from normal liver tissue. The expression levels of different groups Ezrin and survivin were detected. Results The positive expression rates of Ezrin in normal control group, non-metastatic liver cancer group and metastatic liver cancer group were 33.3%, 42.5% and 69.0%, respectively. The expression level of Ezrin in metastatic liver cancer was higher than that in non-metastasis liver cancer group (P?0.05). The positive expression rates of Survivin in normal control group, non-metastatic liver cancer group and metastatic liver cancer group were 0.0%, 50.0% and 84.5%, respectively. The expression level of Survivin in metastatic liver cancer was higher than that in normal control group and non-metastasis liver cancer group (P?0.05); the expression level of Survivin in the non-metastatic liver cancer group was higher than that in the normal control group (P?0.05). According to Spearman correlation analysis, the expression of Ezrin and Survivin was positively correlated with metastatic liver cancer (P?0.05). Conclusion The high expression of Ezrin and Survivin in primary liver cancer is closely related to the aggressive behavior of primary liver cancer, and it can be used as one of the indicators to evaluate the prognosis of early primary liver cancer.
