Aim. In this article, we analyzed the age-related features of molecular- biological subtypes in 499 patients with invasive breast cancer. Materials and research methods. All cases were divided into 5 molecular- biological subtypes based on immunohistochemical studies of hormone receptors, Her2, Ki-67. Luminal (A and B) with the expression of estrogen and/or progesterone receptors (ER+/PR+), accounting for about 50-80% of all breast cancer cases and potentially sensitive, especially luminal A, to hormone therapy. Research results. The analysis showed that in our study the proportion of the Luminal A subtype was lower than the generally accepted values of 37.4% of all studied breast cancer cases. In the group of women under 40 years of age (with preserved menstrual-ovarian function), cases of Luminal A subtype were significantly less common (9.03%) compared to the groups of 41-50 years (p<0.006), 51-60 years (p<0.001), and over 60 (p<0.001). There was also a decrease in the proportion of Luminal A subtype among patients older than 60 years (p=0.0064). No significant differences were found between the groups 41-50 and over 60 years of age (p=0.1868).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
