Expressions of HER-2,p53,Estrogen Receptor,and Progesterone Receptor in Tissues of Invasive Ductal Breast Carcinoma with Different Clinical Stages / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ABSTRACT

[Objective] Expressions of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER-2),p53,estrogen receptor (ER),and progesterone receptor (PR) in tissues of breast invasive ductal carcinoma are not only applied to determine the therapeutic regimen,but they may also be related to the prognosis.We investigated the levels of these proteins among different clinical stages and the correlations.[Method] One hundred and thirty-eight tissues from cases with breast invasive ductal carcinoma were tested with immunohistochemistry.New scoring standards and rank test were applied.The indices were digitalized and semi-quantified.[Results] In the tissues from high clinical stage,the expression of HER2 was significantly increased,while expression of PR was markedly decreased.[Conclusion] Expression of HER2 and PR might be better markers for predicting clinical stages and prognosis.
