Abstract:

  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 Imam Hospital complex, Tehran, Iran in 2010 and 2011. The data about biomarkers (ER, PR, P53, HER-2) status and clinic pathologic features were extracted from patients files. Results: Invasive ductal carcinoma (90.7%) was the most common pathology of BC. The frequency of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), P53 and HER2 was estimated as 63.6%, 58.9%, 37.4% and 21.9% respectively. None of these markers had significant relationship with age, tumor size, tumor pathology, vascular invasion, calcification, nipple invasion, benign component, skin invasion and mitosis. Between low grade histology of tumor and ER, PR significant positive relationship was found (P=0.001). Lymph node involvement was positively associated with P53 expression. A positive relationship found between ER and PR (P=0.001). Both P53 and HER-2 inversely correlate with ER, PR (P=0.001). HER2 and P53 had no significant relationship. Conclusion: We found a significantly higher PR(+), ER(+) expression in low grade tumors. Although P53 and HER2 expressions were not found to be correlated with tumor grade, P53 expression was associated with poorer prognosis due to higher lymph node involvement and perineural invasion.

Correlation of HER-2 over-expression with clinico-pathological parameters in Tunisian breast carcinoma

BACKGROUND Breast carcinoma is a disease with a tremendous heterogeneity in its clinical behavior. Newer prognostic factors and predictors of response to therapy are needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of HER-2, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in breast carcinoma and to compare it with other prognostic parameters such as histological type and grad...

Relation between Estrogen and Progesterone Receptor Status with p53, Ki67 and Her-2 Markers in Patients with Breast Cancer

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, containing approximately one third of all illnesses in women. Assessment of molecular markers is valuable in predicting the outcome of disease and decision making for optimal treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between estrogen and progesterone receptors with Her-2, Ki67, P53, and clinicopathologica...
