Topoisomerase IIalpha is a nuclear enzyme essential for DNA replication, with presumed prognostic value in various tumors. METHODS Study group included 34 gastric lymphomas. Tissue samples, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, were investigated by immunhistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies anti Ki67 and anti topoisomerase IIalpha. RESULTS The 34 gastric lymphomas were previously diagnosed as follows: 14 MALT lymphoma and 20 aggressive lymphoma (17 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 2 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with minor MALT component and 1 peripheral T-cell lymphoma). Both markers (Ki67 and topoisomerase IIalpha) were positive in 2-31% of tumor cells in MALT lymphoma, while in aggressive lymphoma up to 46-98% of tumor cells showed a positive expression. CONCLUSIONS Similar expression of Ki67 and topoisomerase IIalpha recommends the utilization of topoisomerase IIalpha in determining the proliferation fraction in gastric lymphomas. In addition, we suggest that it might be possible to use topoisomerase II inhibitor agents in high grade gastric lymphomas.
