Unchartered waters: Significance of fall in Ki67 index after short-term preoperative endocrine therapy in early breast cancers.
Background: Endocrine treatment for breast cancer acts largely by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. The biomarker Ki67 is linked to the proliferative index of the tumour.
Objective: To identify the factors affecting the fall in Ki67 value in early-stage hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer patients receiving short-term preoperative endocrine therapy in an Indian cohort.
Methods: Women with hormone receptor positive, invasive, nonmetastatic, and early breast cancer (
Results: The short-term preoperative endocrine therapy resulted in a reduction in the median Ki67 index, which was significantly greater among postmenopausal women who received Letrozole (63.25 (31.94-80.5)) than among premenopausal women who received Tamoxifen (0 (-28.99-62.25)) (p-value 0.001). The fall in Ki67 value was particularly marked for patients with low-grade tumors with high Estrogen and progesterone receptor expression (p-value < 0.05). The duration of treatment (<2 week or 2-4 week or >4 week) did not affect the fall in Ki67.
Conclusion: Preoperative therapy with Letrozole resulted in a more significant fall in Ki67, as compared to therapy with Tamoxifen. Determining the fall in Ki67 value in response to preoperative endocrine therapy could provide an insight into the response to endocrine therapy in luminal 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.
