摘 要:[目的] 探讨雄激素受体(androgen receptor,AR)在人表皮生长因子受体-2(human epidermal growth factor receptor-2,Her-2)过表达型乳腺癌中的临床意义。[方法] 用免疫组化方法检测有完整临床及随访资料的102例Her-2过表达型乳腺癌中AR表达,并分析其与临床病理特征及5年无疾病进展时间(disease-free survinal,DFS)的相关性。[结果] AR在Her-2过表达型乳腺癌阳性率为75.5%(77/102);淋巴结阴性组AR表达率为84.91%(45/53),明显高于淋巴结阳性组的65.31%(32/49)(χ2=5.286,P=0.021);Ki-67阴性组AR表达率(89.47%,34/38)明显高于Ki-67阳性组的67.19%(43/64)(χ2=6.400,P=0.011)。生存分析显示,AR阳性组5年无瘤生存率为71.7%,明显低于AR阴性组的89.8%(χ2=5.736,P=0.017)。Cox回归分析显示,AR是影响Her-2过表达型乳腺癌5年DFS的独立预后因素(RR=3.961,95%CI:1.008~15.574)。[结论] AR在Her-2过表达型乳腺癌中的表达率高,AR阳性患者预后较差,AR可能成为Her-2过表达型乳腺癌新的治疗靶点。  相似文献

热休克蛋白70在乳腺癌中的表达及其与预后的关系   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
目的 探讨热休克蛋白70(heat shock protein70,HSP70)在乳腺癌中的表达,评估其在乳腺癌预后中的作用。方法 用免疫组化方法检测62例手术切除的乳腺癌组织中HSP70的表达,研究其与临床病理特征的关系及对预后的影响。结果 (1)HSP70在乳腺癌组织中的阳性表达率为56.5%(35/62)。(2)HSP70表达与肿瘤大小(P=0.021)及腋窝淋巴结转移(P=0.015)存在相关性,而与月经状况、组织学分级之间均无相关性。(3)HSP70阴性表达组的无病生存期(DFS)及总生存期(OS)均明显优于阳性表达组。(4)(20x回归单因素分析显示腋窝淋巴结转移个数、组织学分级、肿瘤大小、TNM分期及HSP70阳性表达与DFS及OS明显相关;Cox回归多因素分析表明仅有腋窝淋巴结转移个数、组织学分级及肿瘤大小与DFS及OS明显相关,而TNM分期及HSP70阳性表达进入Cox回归模型。结论 HSP70在乳腺癌组织中有一定程度的表达,HSP70阳性表达与乳腺癌患者生存期的缩短有关,由于多因素回归分析未能显示HSP70表达与DFS和OS相关,因此HSP70不能作为乳腺癌的独立的预后因素。  相似文献

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to confirm the favorable outcome of Japanese invasive breast cancer patients without lymph node metastasis, after treatment with surgery alone, and to evaluate clinicopathological prognostic factors in this population. METHODS: The subjects were 763 consecutive node-negative invasive breast cancer patients who underwent surgery without adjuvant therapies between 1988 and 1993 at our hospital. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were analyzed by clinicopathological factors. RESULTS: The median age of the patients at surgery was 52 years and the median follow-up period of patients was 74 months. At 5 years, the respective DFS and OS rates of all patients were 90.8% and 93.9%. Patients with a pathological tumor size of invasive component of more than 2 cm (319 patients) had a significantly lower DFS than those with tumors measuring 2 cm or less (361 patients) (P = 0.045). Patients with positive hormone receptor status (280 patients) (estrogen and/or progesterone receptor positive) tended to have a better OS than those negative for both hormone receptors (92 patients) (P = 0.078). Meanwhile, patients with tumors of histological grade 3 (328 patients) had a much poorer prognosis than those with tumors of histological grade 1 or 2 (413 patients) (P = 0.008 for OS and P = 0.042 for DFS). The respective 5-year DFS and OS rates of patients with histological grade 3 tumors larger than 2 cm in pathological tumor size of invasive component (195 patients) were 85.5% and 87.6%, indicating that these node-negative patients form a high risk group. CONCLUSIONS: Japanese invasive breast cancer patients without lymph node metastasis tended to show a survival advantage compared with their Caucasian counterparts. Histological grade was the most useful prognostic factor in this population.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with lymph node-negative breast carcinoma is being recommended currently based on the St. Gallen classification. The prognostic importance of HER-2 status in patients with lymph node-negative breast carcinoma has been investigated extensively, with contradictory results. The authors investigated the clinical relevance of HER-2 overexpression when combined with the St. Gallen classification in lymph node-negative breast carcinoma. METHODS: The medical records of patients with breast carcinoma negative for lymph node involvement who underwent surgery between January 1995 and December 2000 at the Seoul National University College of Medicine (Seoul, Korea) were reviewed retrospectively. Risk groups based on the St. Gallen classification were categorized as average or minimal risk. The prognostic values of HER-2 in combination with the St. Gallen classification were analyzed with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) rates. RESULTS: A total of 906 patients were eligible for analysis. The overall 7-year DFS rate was 87.5%. The 7-year DFS rates for patients with HER-2-positive and HER-2-negative tumors were, respectively, 77.9% and 91.2% (P = 0.002). The 7-year DFS rates for patients with average and minimal risk group were 85.0% and 97.9%, respectively. The authors found that HER-2 overexpression significantly predicted the risk of disease recurrence (odds ratio = 3.03 [95% confidence interval, 1.63-5.63]). Furthermore, when HER-2 status was combined with the St. Gallen classification, the DFS rate of the HER-2-positive average risk group was 73.3% compared with 88.4% for the HER-2-negative average risk group (P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: The combination of HER-2 overexpression and the St. Gallen classification was more useful than either alone to predict the risk of disease recurrence in patients with lymph node-negative breast carcinoma.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the concentration and to evaluate the prognostic value of pepsinogen C (PepC) in breast cancer patients. PepC is an aspartic proteinase that is involved in the digestion of proteins in the stomach and is also synthesized by a subset of human breast tumors. PepC concentrations were measured with a highly sensitive immunofluorometric assay, which uses two monoclonal antibodies that are specific for PepC and has a detection limit of 0.1 ng/ml. Breast tumor cytosols from 151 patients (median follow-up, 67 months), stratified according to nodal status, were evaluated. An optimal cutoff value, equal to 1.75 ng/mg of extracted protein, was first defined by statistical analysis. PepC status was then compared with other established prognostic factors, in terms of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). High PepC concentrations were found in small (P = 0.003) and well-differentiated tumors (P = 0.042) as well as in stage I (P = 0.003) and node-negative patients (P = 0.040). Statistically significant associations of PepC concentration with patient age and estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor status were not observed. In univariate Cox regression analysis of the entire cohort of patients, negative PepC proved to be a significant predictor of reduced DFS (P = 0.0086) and OS (P = 0.025). Multivariate analysis in subgroups of patients defined by nodal status indicated that PepC status was a strong predictor of DFS (P = 0.0039) and the strongest factor for predicting OS (P = 0.0046) in node-positive but not in node-negative patients. Our results suggest that PepC may be used as an independent favorable prognostic factor in node-positive breast cancer patients because there were no significant associations between PepC and the other prognostic factors evaluated in this group of patients.  相似文献

The value of various prognostic factors in breast cancer patients has been determined in a number of studies. One hundred thirty-eight Greek women were followed up over a 5-year period after surgery for breast cancer. Amplification and overexpression of c-erbB-2 was found in 22.4% and 29.7% of the respective cases, and the concentration of total cytosolic Cathepsin-D (CD) in 46.4% of them was high (> or = 60 pmol/mg protein). The examined biological variables were compared with standard clinicopathological prognostic factors for the disease and related to early relapse (ER; before 3 years), relapse-free survival (RFS; median, 5 years), and overall survival (OS; median, 5 years). It was found that high CD levels significantly shorten ER of both node-negative and node-positive patients (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.002, respectively) and have prognostic value for RFS and OS of node-negative patients (P = 0.0012 and P = 0.0288, respectively), but lose their value as relapse predictors for node-positive patients for periods longer than 3 years. Overexpression of c-erbB-2 was found to be predictive for OS of node-positive and -negative patients (P = 0.0048 and P = 0.0285, respectively), but its predictive power was weak for ER (P = 0.0456) and RFS (P = 0.0455) of node-negative patients and disappeared for node-positive patients. c-erbB-2 amplification offers minimal assistance to the prediction. In conclusion, high CD concentration is indicative of ER of patients, and c-erbB-2 overexpression correlates with OS of patients.  相似文献

PURPOSE: Cancer presenting at the medial site of the breast may have a worse prognosis compared with tumors located in external quadrants. For medial tumors, axillary lymph node staging may not accurately reflect the metastatic potential of the disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eight-thousand four-hundred twenty-two patients randomly assigned to International Breast Cancer Study Group clinical trials between 1978 and 1999 were classified as medial site (1,622; 19%) or lateral, central, and other sites (6,800; 81%). Median follow-up was 11 years. RESULTS: A statistically significant difference was observed for patients with medial tumors versus those with nonmedial tumors in disease-free survival (DFS; 10-year DFS, 46% v 48%; HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.18; P = .01) and overall survival (10-year OS 59% v 61%; HR, 1.09; 1.01 to 1.19; P = .04). This difference increased after adjustment for other prognostic factors (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.32 for DFS; and HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.35 for OS; both P = .0001). The risk of relapse for patients with medial presentation was largest for the node-negative cohort and for patients with tumors larger than 2 cm. In the subgroup of 2,931 patients with negative axillary lymph nodes, 10-year DFS was 61% v 67%, and OS was 73% v 80% for medial versus nonmedial sites, respectively (HR 1.33; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.54; P = .0001 for DFS; and HR 1.40; 95% CI, 1.17 to 1.67; P = .0003 for OS). CONCLUSION: Tumor site has a significant prognostic utility, especially for axillary lymph node-negative disease, that should be considered in therapeutic algorithms. New staging procedures such as biopsy of the sentinel internal mammary nodes or novel imaging methods should be further studied in patients with medial tumors.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the prognostic importance of immunocytochemically determined c-erbB-2 overexpression in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Primary tumors from 1,506 breast cancer patients (760 node-negative and 746 node-positive) who were treated in the International (Ludwig) Breast Cancer Study Group Trial V were studied. Node-negative patients were allocated randomly to either a single cycle of perioperative chemotherapy (PeCT) or no adjuvant treatment, and node-positive patients received either a prolonged chemotherapy (with tamoxifen for postmenopausal patients) or a single perioperative cycle. RESULTS: Tumors from 16% of the node-negative patients and 19% of the node-positive patients were found to be c-erbB-2-positive. In both groups c-erbB-2 positivity correlated with negative progesterone receptors (PR), negative estrogen receptors (ER), and high tumor grade. Lobular carcinomas were all negative, and, thus support the view that such tumors represent a defined subtype of breast carcinoma. The expression of c-erbB-2 was prognostically significant for node-positive but not for node-negative patients. However, in both subgroups, the prognostic significance was greater for patients who had received more adjuvant therapy. For node-positive patients, the effect of prolonged-duration therapy on disease-free survival (DFS) was greater for patients without c-erbB-2 overexpression (hazards ratio [HR], = 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46 to 0.72) than for those with c-erbB-2 overexpression (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.51 to 1.16). Similarly, for node-negative patients, the effect of PeCT on DFS was greater for those without c-erbB-2 overexpression (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.61 to 1.09) than for those with c-erbB-2 overexpression (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 0.66 to 2.25). CONCLUSION: We conclude that tumors with overexpression of the c-erbB-2 oncogene are less responsive to cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil (CMF)-containing adjuvant therapy regimens than those with a normal amount of gene product.  相似文献

This study was designed to investigate the possible relationship between the protein expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with p53 status, breast cancer prognostic factors, metastatic site, and survival after adjuvant therapy. Basic fibroblast growth factor and VEGF expression were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in cytosol specimens obtained from 1307 patients with T1-3 primary breast cancer (789 node-negative, 518 node-positive) diagnosed between 1990 and 1997. The median follow-up time was 70 months. Increased bFGF expression was more frequently found in tumors with low VEGF expression (r = -0.286; P = 0.095). Increased bFGF was associated with smaller tumors (P < 0.001), absence of axillary metastasis (P = 0.003), low S-phase fraction (P < 0.001), and longer recurrence-free survival (RFS; P = 0.0038) and overall survival (OS; P = 0.0316). Vascular endothelial growth factor was a prognostic factor for RFS (P < 0.0001) and OS (P < 0.0001) in univariate and multivariate analyses (RFS: 95% CI, 1.1-1.7; P = 0.036; OS: 95% CI, 1.2-2.2; P = 0.002), whereas bFGF expression was not correlated with RFS or OS. Increased VEGF content was correlated with shorter survival after adjuvant endocrine therapy (RFS, P = 0.0004; OS, P = 0.0009). Patients with estrogen receptor-negative disease were excluded from the analysis. Basic fibroblast growth factor was not a prognostic factor after adjuvant systemic therapy, nor was it related to metastatic site. Expression of VEGF is an independent prognostic factor for patients with primary breast cancer. High bFGF expression was related to good prognostic features and longer survival times, but did not add prognostic information in multivariate analysis. The results might implicate that different angiogenic pathways exist in human breast cancer.  相似文献
