This cross-sectional study analyzed 56 paraffin blocks from patients with endometriosis who underwent surgical intervention to evaluate the relationship between Ki-67 expression and disease characteristics. The researchers found a statistically significant association between Ki-67 levels and both the size of endometriotic cysts and the overall stage of endometriosis, with correlation coefficients indicating strong relationships for both variables. These findings demonstrate that higher Ki-67 expression is linked to larger cyst dimensions and more advanced disease stages in the studied population. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically examining the prognostic value of Ki-67 proliferation markers in relation to lesion severity and morphology.

Abstract

Objectives: To analyze the association between Ki-67 expression with the cyst size and stage of endometriosis, and the correlation strength between them. Methods: A cross-sectional analytic observational study involving 56 paraffin blocks from subjects diagnosed with endometriosis, who had undergone laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery. The study is conducted in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital in September-November 2012. Results: Shows a significant association between Ki-67 expression and the size of endometriotic cyst (p < 0.0001), also with a strong correlation (r = 0.55) according to Guilford criteria. There is also a significant association between Ki-67 expression and the endometriosis stage (p < 0.0001), with a strong correlation (r = 0.564) according to Guilford criteria. Conclusion: Ki-67 expression is correlated with the cyst size and stage of endometriosis. [Indones J Obstet Gynecol 2013; 1-3: 124-8] Keywords: endometriosis stage, endometriotic cyst size, Ki-67
