ERCC1 and Ki67 Expression in Patients with Breast Cancer and Relationship Between Its Expression and Sensitivity of Platinum Chemotherapy / 医药导报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the expressions of excision repair cross complementation group 1 ( ERCC1) and Ki67 in patients with breast cancer, and the relationships between their expressions and sensitivity of platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods Totally, 129 cases were pathologically diagnosed as breast cancer.Paclitaxel and carboplatin were used simultaneously. Chemotherapy regimen was as followsGemcitabine 1 000 mg??( m2 )-1 , IV drop on day 1 and 8;cisplatin 25 mg??( m2 )-1 , IV drop on day 1-3, for six cycles ( 21 days a cycle ) . ERCC1 and Ki67 expression in tumor tissue was observed by immunohistochemical analysis.Platinum-based chemotherapy sensitivity and survival of patients with different levels of ERCC1 and Ki67 expression were analyzed. Results In 129 patients, 18 cases were ERCC1 and Ki67 double-negative ( ERCC1-Ki67-) , and the clinical effective rate and 3-year cumulative survival rate were 88.89%and 83.33%, respectively.Twenty-four cases were ERCC1 positive but Ki67 negative ( ERCC1+Ki67-) , and the clinical effective rate and 3-year cumulative survival rate were 50. 00% and 62.50%, respectively.Thirty-three cases were ERCC1 negative but Ki67 positive (ERCC1-Ki67+), and the clinical effective rate and 3-year cumulative survival rate were 54. 55% and 60. 60%, respectively. Fifty-four patients were ERCC1 and Ki67 double-positive ( ERCC1+Ki67+) , and the clinical effective rate and 3-year cumulative survival rate were 22.78% and 31. 48%, respectively.Compared with ERCC1-Ki67- group, the clinical treatment efficiencies of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in ERCC1+Ki67- group, ERCC1-Ki67+ group, and ERCC1+Ki67+ group were significantly decreased ( P<0. 05 ) . The clinical treatment efficiency in patients of ERCC1+Ki67+ group with cisplatin-based chemotherapy was significantly decreased as compared with ERCC1+Ki67- group and ERCC1-Ki67+ group (P<0.05).Compared with ERCC1- Ki67- group, three-year cumulative survival rate in patients of ERCC1+ Ki67- group and ERCC1- Ki67+ group, ERCC1+Ki67+ group was significantly decreased ( P<0. 05 ) . Compared with ERCC1+Ki67-group and ERCC1-Ki67+group, three-year cumulative survival rate in patients of the ERCC1+Ki67+group was significantly decreased ( P<0.05) . Conclusion The expression levels of ERCC1 and Ki67 in breast cancer were high. Their expression levels are closely related with clinical efficiency of platinum-based chemotherapy.
