目的:探讨乳腺癌组织中p53的突变情况及Ki67的表达水平,明确p53与Ki67联合作用在乳腺癌临床病理因素上的体现。方法:应用免疫组化SP法检测165例乳腺癌组织中p53、Ki67的表达,分析其与临床病理因素之间的关系。结果:p53的突变率为55.8%(92/165),Ki67的阳性表达率为69.1% (114/165)。p53的突变情况与患者年龄、肿块大小、淋巴结转移、TNM分期、ER和PR的表达水平无关,但与HER-2的表达水平呈正相关。在总人群中Ki67的表达水平与肿块大小和淋巴结转移无关。亚组分析显示在p53突变的患者中,Ki67的表达水平与肿块的大小呈正相关(r=0.311,P=0.003),与淋巴结转移呈正相关(r=0.342,P=0.001)。结论:在p53突变型乳腺癌中Ki67的表达与T分期及N分期均呈正相关,在p53突变人群中Ki67对乳腺癌的生物学行为和患者的预后可能有更高的预测价值,二者联合检测与解读可能更有助于判断乳腺癌患者的预后。
Objective:To investigate the mutation status of p53 and the expression of Ki67,and explore the clinical significance of their combined effect in breast cancer.Methods:To detect the expression of p53 and Ki67 using immunohistochemical SP method in 165 cases of breast cancer.Results:p53 mutation rate was 55.8% (92/165).The positive expression rate of Ki67 was 69.1% (114/165).The status of p53 had no significant correlation with age,tumor size,lymph nodes metastases,TNM stage,ER and PR expression,but had a positive correlation with Her-2 expression.In the general population,the expression of Ki67 had no significant correlation with tumor size and lymph nodes metastases.Subgroup analysis showed that Ki67 had a positive correlation with tumor size and lymph nodes metastases in p53 mutation-positive patients.Conclusion:Ki67 had a positive correlation with tumor size and lymph node metastases in p53 mutation-positive patients.Ki67 might be an important predictor of biologic behavior and prognosis in p53 mutation-positive breast cancer.The prognostic model that combined p53 and Ki67 might be more valuable in breast cancer.
