摘要
目的:研究P-糖蛋白(P-glycoprotein,Pgp)在乳腺癌组织中的表达,评估其在乳腺癌预后中的作用。方法:采用免疫组织化学方法(Immunohistochemistry,IHC )检测47例手术切除的乳腺癌组织中Pgp的表达,并分析其与临床、病理特征的关系及对预后的影响。结果:Pgp在乳腺癌组织中的总表达率为83.0% (39/47例),高表达者占53.2%(25/4例),其与月经状况、肿瘤大小、淋巴结转移、组织分级和激素受体状况均无关(P>0.05);Kaplan-Meier生存分析结果表明 Pgp表达与无病生存期和总生存期均显著相关( P<0.01),而多因素 Cox分析却显示仅有Pgp和淋巴结转移是独立的预后因素。结论:Pgp在乳腺癌组织中具有较高的表达,有可能成为判断乳腺癌预后的有用指标。
Objective: To study the relationship between the expression of multidrug resistance gene production P-Glycoprotein (Pgp) with the clinicopathological characteristics and the prognosis in primary breast cancer patients. Methods: Expression of Pgp in 47 breast cancer patients were determined by immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor section. Results: Pgp expression was observed in 39 of 47 (83.0%) patients. No relation could be established between expression of Pgp and other clinicopathological parameters. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with Pgp-negative cancers had prolongation of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, only Pgp and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion: The results suggest that Pgp is frequently expressed in primary breast cancer, and Pgp might be used as one of the markers of poor prognosis in patients with breast cancer.
