Relation between coagulation-fibrinolysis indexes and biological behavior of breast cancer / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the relation between coagulation-fibrinolysis and metastasis, hormone receptor and TNM stage of breast cancer. Methods The plasm levels of six coagulation-fibrinolysis indexes of 30 breast cancer patients were tested, which included activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), fibrinogen(FIB), D-dimer(D-Di), tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA)and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1). Statistic analysis of the relation between the changes of these indexes and metastasis, hormone receptor and breast cancer cell proliferation was performed. Results There were statistically significant differences between the malignant and benign breast disease in FiB(3.05±0.44)g/L vs(3.39±0.52)g/L(P＜0.05),D-Di(0.27±0.06)μg/ml vs(0.36±0.16)μg/ml(P＜0.05) and PAI-1(26.14±3.30)ng/ml vs(34.59±3.68)ng/ml (P＜0.01). The levels of plasma FIB (3.70±0.47)g/L and PAI-1 (37.36±2.71)ng/ml in metastasis group were higher than those in the non-metastasis group (P＜0.01). Significantly higher levels of PAI-1(36.40±3.57)ng/ml(P＜0.05)in expression of Ki67≥30% in the patients with lymph node involvement were seen. Conclusion Coagulation-fibrinolysis indexes were related to the proliferation, invasion, metastasis and clinical stage of breast cancer and it can serve as an important marker for predicting breast cancer's biological behavior and prognosis.
