  Introduction: Cervical cancers are the second most frequent type of female cancer, responsible for about 5% of cancer deaths in females worldwide. Recently, parameters of cell proliferation and cell death have emerged as important diagnostic and prognostic tools. Aims: The aim was to evaluate the role of Apoptotic Index and Ki-67 as proliferation marker in premalignant and malignant lesions of uterine cervix. Materials and Methods: The study included 179 patients of cervical dysplasias and malignancy. Evaluation of Apoptotic Index (using light microscopy) was performed on hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections. Ki-67 (MIB-1 antibody) expression was both graded as well as Labelling Index was calculated. Statistical evaluation was carried out using the Student t test (p<0.05). Results: There was increase in mean Apopt.. View More»
