We used immunohistochemical analysis to study the expression and prognostic impact of cyclin B1, a key molecule for G (2)-M phase transition during the cell cycle, in a series of 342 curatively resected colorectal carcinomas.In 269 tumors (78.7%), high expression of cyclin B1 in more than 10% of tumor cells was observed, but there was no association between cyclin B1 expression and histopathologic tumor features. Univariate analysis revealed no impact on disease-free and overall survival. Multivariate analysis revealed pT and pN categories, extramural blood vessel invasion, and low-grade tumor cell differentiation as independent prognostic predictors for overall survival, and pT and pN categories and tumor site for disease-free survival.According to our results, high expression of cyclin B1 is a frequent and early event in colorectal carcinomas. However, cyclin B1 expression is neither a predictor of prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer nor a suitable tool for identifying subgroups of patients at higher risk for disease recurrence.
