Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the differential expressions of ER,PR,HER-2 and Ki-67 in primary and recurrent metastasis breast cancer patients.Further,analyze their effects on disease-free survival of breast cancer patients.Methods:The medical records from January 01,2012 to December 31,2021 were collected by case retrieval system of our hospital.Excluding cases with missing pathological and clinical data,a total of 89 cases with recurrent metastasis breast cancer were included in this study.The clinical characteristics,including ER,PR,HER-2 and Ki-67 status of patients were recorded in detail,and the discordance between recurrent metastasis and primary sites were further studied by survival analysis.Results:The mean age of the enrolled patients was 53.14 years (20~84 years).All patients underwent radical mastectomy or modified radical mastectomy,and corresponding postoperative adjuvant therapy.Among them,34 patients received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy.The positive expression rates of ER and PR in the primary breast cancer were higher than those in metastasis sites.High expression of HER-2 and Ki-67 were more common in recurrent metastasis sites.The differences of ER,PR,HER-2 and Ki-67 expression in primary lesions and recurrent metastasis lesions were 24.72%,42.70%,11.24%and 13.48%,respectively.Biomarker discordance of ER and PR expression were correlated with disease-free survival.Conclusion:The inconsistent expression of ER,PR,HER-2 and Ki-67 in breast cancer patients between primary and recurrent metastasis lesions,may further affects the treatment strategy and survival of patients.
