Multivariate analysis of oestrogen receptor alpha, pS2, metallothionein and CD24 expression in invasive breast cancers

Abstract: Determination of oestrogen receptor alpha (ER) represents at present the most important predictive factor in breast cancers. Data of ours and of other authors suggest that promising predictive/prognostic factors may also include pS2, metallothionein (MT) and CD24. Present study aimed at determining prognostic and predictive value of immunohistochemical determination of ER, pS2, MT, and CD24 expression in sections originating from 104 patients with breast cancer. An univariate and multivariate analysis was perf… Show more

“…It should also be emphasized that our patient cohort is well described and researched. The results of many analyses performed on this group (originally larger, approximately 100 cases, currently only 85 due to the usage of tissue material) were previously published (38)(39)(40).…”

“…In the last few years, a large body of literature has also implicated CD24 expression in tumourigenesis and in progression of several types of cancer [10,17]. Hence, CD24 has been identified as a new prognostic variable in ovarian cancer [8,25], breast [12,24], prostate [9] and colorectal adenocarcinoma [26], intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [23] as well as non-small cell lung cancer [11]. However, no significant impact on patient outcome was identified in pancreatic adenocarcinomas [4].…”

“…Although molecular markers like expression of estrogen and growth factor receptors, pS2, metallothionein, CD24, cathepsin D, ERBB2, and mutations in the TP53 gene all have been correlated to breast cancer prognosis, the use of single marker provides limited information for the prognosis of an individual patient [1,2]. In view of the molecular heterogeneity of breast tumors and the large number of marker genes involved, studying multiple genetic alterations simultaneously is of utmost importance.…”
