The expression and clinical significance of multi-genes in breast cancer / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

0.05). Expression of MDR1 had a positive ~correlation with mutant p53 accumulation and HER2 expression(P0.05 ).In univariate analyses,TNM staging, axillary lymph node metastasis, mutant p53 accumulation, and HER2 over-expression were negatively correlated with DFS and OS, and MDR1 over-expression significantly reduced OS but not DFS. In multivariate analysis, axillary lymph node metastasis, over-expression of MDR1 and HER2 were independent risk factors for prognosis. Conclusions ~Induction of multidrug resistance and poor response to chemotherapy and endocrinotherapy may be the chief reasons for poor prognosis of breast cancer with mutant p53 accumulation, and HER2 and MDR1 over-expression. ~Determination of the above genes′expression in breast cancer tissue can be of use in deciding the degree of ~malignancy , metastasis phenotype and prognosis of brest cancer. Increasing anthracycline dose may increase the ~overall response rate to chemotherapy and improve prognosis in patients with mutant p53 accumulation, HER2 and MDR1 over-expression, especially HER2 over-expression.
