Ki-67 Expression in Benign Breast Ductal Cells Obtained by Random Periareolar Fine Needle Aspiration

Abstract: Ki-67 expression in ductal cells obtained by random periareolar fine needle aspiration (RPFNA) is currently being used as a response biomarker in phase II breast cancer chemoprevention trials; however, Ki-67 in RPFNA has not been well studied as a risk predictor for cancer, which would support its use as a response indicator. We examined the expression of Ki-67 in RPFNA specimens with hyperplasia F atypia obtained from 147 women at high risk for development of breast cancer. Median Ki-67 was 1.4% (range 0-24%)… Show more

“…Until now rFNA samples have been used for immunohistochemistry (27,28) and DNA-based analyses (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34), although feasibility of gene expression measurement has been explored (35). Considering the topographic heterogeneity in the breast, rFNA sampling is a useful tool for the discovery of breast cancer risk biomarkers; it provides a predominantly epithelial sample from a large area of the breast and allows the evaluation of women with clinically normal breasts, therefore greatly expanding the population for study, and eventual application of results.…”

“…A no-treatment control (either randomized or non-randomized) may be used as well to determine the effect of biopsy and other influences (such as stopping HRT) on the biomarkers being assessed. Generally, a proliferation biomarker such as Ki-67 is used as the primary endpoint and 8-12 subjects are entered at each dose level (Fabian et al 2004a(Fabian et al , 2005. In Phase IB, the dose(s) from Phase IA which have shown favorable modulation in 80% of subjects is chosen and subjects are randomized to study (Decensi et al 2003, Fabian et al 2004a.…”

“…Two models have been proposed in this regard which would facilitate sample-size estimation and statistical analysis. These have been termed the prevention-of-progression and reversal-of-atypia models , Fabian et al 2005). …”
