Abstract

Objective: To determine the ratio of molecular types to breast cancer. To study the expression of ER, PR, HER2, Ki67 markers in breast cancer molecular types. Subject and method: 142 patients were diagnosed with breast cancer through needle biopsy or surgery at 108 Military Central Hospital. Primary tumor had not treated preoperative chemicals. The specimen was stained with 04 markers ER, PR, HER2, Ki67. Result: Type LUMA was the highest (28.9%), HER2 (17.6%), LUMB (15.5%), TNP (14.8%), and LAHH (16.2%), LBHH (7.0%). The radio positive of ER marker was higher than PR marker (65.5% and 37.3%). With HER2 marker, the actual positive HER2 ratio (3+) accounted for 47.6%. Ki67 index in types with good prognosis such as LUMA and LUMB tended to decrease from low Ki67 to high Ki67. Type TNP has Ki67 index increasing from low Ki67 to high Ki67. Conclusion: The expression of ER, PR, HER2 markers at different levels is meaningful in the molecular classification of breast cancer. The Ki67 index according to each type shows that the prognosis level decreases gradually in the order: LUMA, LUMB, LAHH, HER2, LBHH, TNP.
