Abstract
Introduction: Identifying Ki67, a monoclonal antibody that recognizes proliferating cells, is important for defining the level of proliferative activity among patients with breast cancer. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the correlation between Ki67's expression and histopathological grade, tumor size, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) among breast cancer patients.
Methods: Our retrospective cohort study involved examining 114 patients with breast cancer at our institution from January 2018 to December 2019. Participants were retrospectively followed to determine the progression of their disease, and their 2-year progress was examined with survival analysis, especially regarding whether they had postoperative relapse (i.e., DFS) or had died since being diagnosed (i.e., OS). The data were processed with a chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier test, with significance set at p < 0.05.
Result: The overexpression of Ki67 correlated significantly with histopathological grade (p = 0.001), tumor size (p = 0.001), DFS (p = 0.001), and OS (p = 0.003).
Conclusion: Ki67's overexpression is significantly correlated with the tumor size, DFS, and OS of patients with breast cancer.
期刊介绍:
The recent expansion of work in the field of breast cancer inevitably will hasten discoveries that will have impact on patient outcome. The breadth of this research that spans basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology, and public policy poses difficulties for investigators. Not only is it necessary to be facile in comprehending ideas from many disciplines, but also important to understand the public implications of these discoveries. Breast Disease publishes review issues devoted to an in-depth analysis of the scientific and public implications of recent research on a specific problem in breast cancer. Thus, the reviews will not only discuss recent discoveries but will also reflect on their impact in breast cancer research or clinical management.
