[Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis for the PLK1 mRNA levels in 74 primary hepatoblastomas and 29 corresponding nontumorous livers indicated that the patients with hepatoblastoma with high expression of PLK1 represented significantly poorer outcome than those with its low expression (5-year survival rate: 55.9 vs 87.0%, respectively, p=0.042), suggesting that the level of PLK1 expression is a novel marker to predict the prognosis of hepatoblastoma.].
