ABSTRACT

Objective: To determinate whether human primary breast invasive ductal carcinoma((HPBIDC)) express somatostatin receptor(SSTR). Methods: SSTR expression in 82 patients with invasive duct carcinoma of breast was determined by immunohistochemistry and its correlation with clinical and pathological facts was analysed. Results: IHC analyses revealed that SSTR was expressed in HPBIDC (61/82, 74.4%). A significant correlation was found between SSTR expression and tumor stage (P
