In literature there are still opinion differences concerning the prognostic significance of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and proliferative potential in patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This prompted us to study those parameters. The Ki-67 labeling index (Ki-67 LI), EGFR labeling index (EGFR LI), and mitotic index (MI) were analyzed in the group of 78 consecutive, surgically treated squamous cell lung cancer (SqCLC) patients. The expression of Ki-67 and EGFR protein was visualized on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded sections using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Mitotic index was assessed on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded sections, stained with hematoxylin and eosin using morphological criteria. Mean values of Ki-67 LI and MI were higher for G2+G3 tumors than for G1 tumors. EGFR LI was higher for G1+G2 than for G3 tumors, and for pT3 than for pT1+pT2 tumors. Patients having tumors with Ki-67 ≤28% or (EGFR LI ≤13% or EGFR LI >80%) survived significantly shorter than those having tumors with Ki-67 LI >28% or 13%< EGFR LI ≤80%. In multivariate analysis, 13%≥ EGFR LI <80% and Ki-67 LI ≤28% were independent negative prognostic parameters influencing survivals of SqCLC patients.
