Objective: To investigate the expression of survivin and COX-2 in giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) and explore the prognostic factors for GCT.
Methods: The expressions of survivin and COX-2 in 39 GCT tissues of three Jaffe grades and 4 normal bone tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining, and the data were analyzed in relation to the clinicopathological features of the patients.
Results: The expressions of survivin and COX-2 were significantly higher in the GCT tissues than in normal bone tissues (P<0.
