abstract

background and objectives: breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in the world. the aim of this study was to assess estrogen receptor (er), progesterone receptor (pr) and her-2/neu of infiltrating ductal carcinoma (idc) with tumor size, histologic grade, lymph node metastasis and age. methods: this study was carried out on 300 tissue blocks ofpatients with idc who underwent mastectomy from 2007 to 2011 in shahid beheshti hospital, affiliated to babol university of medical sciences, babol, iran. data including age, tumor size, and histologic grade and lymph node status retrieved from pathology department. result: themean age of the patients was 40.2±2.3 (ranged 19-82 years). er and pr were positively correlated with each other (p= 0.001) and they inversely correlated with her-2/neu  (p=0.001). we observed correlation between er and pr expression and low histologic grade (p= 0.001) and her-2/neu expression and high histologic grade (p= 0.003). there was correlation between her-2/neu expression and lymph node involvement (p=0.03). none of these makers showed correlation with age and tumor size (p> 0.05). conclusion: our findings indicate the importance of er, pr and her-2/neu expression as prognostic factors for therapeutic decision.   how to cite this article: siadati s, sharbatdaran m, nikbakhsh n, ghaemian n. correlation of er, pr and her-2/neu with other prognostic factors in infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast. iran j pathol. 2015;10(3):221-6.

Correlation of ER, PR, HER- 2 and P53 Immunoreactions with Clinico-Pathological Features in Breast Cancer

  Background and Objectives: The most prevalent malignancy among women is known to be breast cancer (BC). Several factors contribute to determining tumor prognosis and treatment strategies. In this study, the frequency and relevance of these factors are discussed. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 214 patients with BC, who referred to the Cancer Institute of...

Correlation of HER 2/neu gene amplification with immunohistochemistry and other prognostic factors in breast carcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to determine relationship between HER-2/neu status and estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, grade and age by comparing fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. One hundred invasive breast carcinomas were reviewed and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis was performed in all cases. Immunohistochemical scores showed a perfect concordan...

Possible Association of CD68 Positive Macrophages with Some other Prognostic Factors (ki67, ER, PR, Her2 neu) in Primary Breast Cancer and Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis

Background: Breast cancer is formed of a neoplastic component (epithelial) and a non-neoplastic component (stroma). Stromal- stromal and tumor- stromal interactions have been shown in the regulation of cancer cell growth, metastatic capacity and outcome of treatment. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a component of tumor stroma reactionsand are considered as an important ...
