    The molecular alterations are considered to play an important role in the both carcinogenesis and biological behavior of a variety of human malignancies. However, cancer of gallbladder is an obscured phenomenon and highly malignant with a poor survival due to underprivileged diagnosis. Tissues of 92 cases of gallbladder cancer patients (31 men and 61 women, age range 16-85 yrs, mean age 45.83 ± 1.50 yrs) were examined for microsatellite instability (MSI) of six microsatellite markers (D16S539, D13S317, D7S820, F13A01, FES/FPS, vWA) and apoptosis of malignant epithelial cells through M30CytoDEATH assay. Analysis of microsatellite markers revealed 08.7% (08/92) in gallbladder cancer, in which 10.0% (07/70) instability found in adenocarcinoma. The sensitivity of this test in adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinaoma and adenoma with dysplasia was found to be 10.0%, 00.0% and 08.3% .. View More»
