Low p21(WAF1/CIP1) expression was immunohistochemically detected in 23 (67.6%) of 34 EBDCs, moderate in six (17.7%), and high in five (14.7%). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that low and high p21(WAF1/CIP1) expressions were significantly associated with shortened disease-free survival (low vs. moderate, P=0.02; high vs. moderate, P=0.01). There was no correlation between p21(WAF1/CIP1) and p53 expression. These findings suggest that altered p21(WAF1/CIP1) expression exerts an adverse influence on the prognosis of EBDC.}, pages = {85---91}, title = {Altered p21(WAF1/CIP1) expression is associated with poor prognosis in extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma.}, volume = {154}, year = {2020} }
