The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis ( P <0.05). Overall, a higher LI of MCM-3 than Ki-67 was obtained in all study groups along with a positive correlation of Ki-67 LI with inflammation.

Eighty-six cases of VSCC diagnosed at a single institution were immunohistochemically assessed for their expression of GATA3, as well as any possible relationships with patient outcomes and other clinicopathologic parameters. Given that GATA3 expression pattern in the normal vulvar epidermis is typically strong basal staining with a uniform upward extension until at least the mid epidermal layers, VSCCs were scored using a previously reported tripattern system: pattern 0 (>75% tumor staining), pattern 1 (25% to 75% staining), and pattern 2 (<25% staining). Severe loss of GATA3 expression (pattern 2) was present in both human papillomavirus-associated (HPVA) and HPVI VSCC but was significantly more common in HPVI cases ( P <0.001). Among 52 HPVA VSCCs, 16 (30.7%), 15 (28.8%), and 21 (40.3%) cases showed patterns 0, 1, 2 staining whereas among 34 HPVI VSCCs, the respective frequencies were 1 (2.9%), 5 (14.7%), and 28 (82.3%). None of the 30 p53 abnormal VSCCs showed pattern 0 staining (0%). Five (16.6%) and 25 (83.3%) showed patterns 1 and 2 staining, respectively.
