title: [Expression of Bcl-2 antigen in laryngeal carcinoma].
abstract: The results of immunohistochemical investigations of BCL-2 presence in 50 patients with laryngeal carcinoma were presented. In 14% of all investigated cases presence of BCL-2 protein was observed. In patients with advanced clinical stage of laryngeal carcinoma higher expression of BCL-2 protein comparing with patients with lower clinical stages was more frequently observed--but it wasn't significant. No significant difference in presence of BCL-2 protein among the patients with a different stage of histological differentiation of carcinoma and among the patients with present and absent metastatic changes in regional lymph nodes was observed.
