Context: The prognostic significance of expression of V-Crk avian sarcoma
virus CT10 oncogene homolog-like (CRKL) and Protein kinase CK2 β in endometroid
carcinoma is not fully clarified. Aim: To assess the prognostic
values and clinicopathological roles of CRKL and CK2 β expression in endometroid
carcinoma by correlation their expression levels with clinicopathological
parameters, response to therapy, and recurrence of the tumor and patients
survival. Settings: Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University, and Mansoura
University. Methods: CRKL and CK2 β expressions were evaluated in 50 paraffin
blocks EC patients that were followed up for 5 years. The relationship
between their level of expressions, clinicopathological criteria and prognosis
of patients was analyzed. Statistical analysis used: SPSS 22.0 for windows
(SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and MedCalc windows (Software bvba 13, Ostend,
Belgium). Results: High expression of CRKL and CK was positively
correlated with higher grade of the tumor (p = 0.004 and 0.006 respectively),
presence of L.N metastases (p = 0.009 and 0.003 respectively), presence of
distant metastases (p = 0.029 and 0.003 respectively) and advanced FIGO
stage (p < 0.001), poor response to therapy (p = 0.046 and 0.005 respectively),
higher incidence of recurrence of the tumor after therapy (p = 0.004 and 0.048
respectively), higher incidence of cancer progression p = 0.018 and 0.044 respectively),
poor PFS (p = 0.008 and 0.013 respectively), and OS rates (p <

is associated with worse clinicopathological parameters and poor
prognosis.
