KI-67 EXPRESSION IN BREAST CANCER AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER PROGNOSTIC FACTORS

Abstract

Human breast carcinomas are known to exhibit a broad spectrum of clinical behavior. Many attempts hava been made in ' the past to establish reliable and reproducible prognostic parameters. Lymph node invoivement, tumor grading and tumor size are accepted as the most important prognostic factors. The proliferative activity, expression of c-erbB-2 oncoprotein, steroid receptors status, p53 expression and patient age are other important prognostic factors. The use of the monoclonal antibody Ki-67 represents an easy and reliable means of assesing celi proliferation. The association between Ki-67 immunoreactivity and other prognostic variables was invastigated in 140 patient with primary breast carcinomas. Immunohistochemical procedure performed to determine Ki-67, estrogen receptor and c erbB-2 expression in ali cases. Ki-67, c-erbB-2 and estrogen receptor (ER) expression, lymph node positivity In the samples was % 64, % 71, % 34 and % 74, respectively. The chi-square P values are shoWn for the associations of Ki 67, c-erbB-2 and ER expression. The Ki-67 expression is not correlated with lymph node status and patient age.
