[Relationship between expression of BLCAP protein and malignancy of osteosarcoma].

AIM: To study the relationship between expression of bladder cancer-associated protein (BLCAP) and malignancy of osteosarcoma. METHODS: SABC method was applied to study the expression of BLCAP protein in osteosarcoma, according to clinical results, to analyze the prognosis value of BLCAP protein in osteosarcoma. RESULTS: The positive rate of BLCAP protein in primary osteosarcoma was 65.6%,much higher than that in recurrent osteosarcoma, which was 25.0%. CONCLUSION: It may be helpful for evaluating the prognosis of osteosarcoma to study the relationship between expression of BLCAP protein and malignancy of osteosarcoma.
