Key result
The combination of p27 expression and extent of apoptosis permitted more accurate estimation of prognosis in patients with synovial sarcoma than either parameter alone.
Why the study?
Does the combination of p27 expression and apoptosis accurately estimate prognosis in patients with synovial sarcoma?
Observational (n=62)
Does the combination of p27 expression and apoptosis accurately estimate prognosis in patients with synovial sarcoma?
The combination of p27 expression and apoptosis provides a more accurate prognostic estimation for patients with synovial sarcoma.

May refine synovial sarcoma prognosis estimation; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Kawauchi et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Synovial sarcoma (n=62). p27 expression and apoptosis was evaluated on Prognosis/survival. The combination of p27 expression and extent of apoptosis permitted more accurate estimation of prognosis in patients with synovial sarcoma than either parameter alone.
