e12538 Background: The ovary stimulation and the follicular response is related with estradiol level. Study in breast cancer patients after IVF if ovarian response or number of IVF cycles affects the prognostic factors. Methods: Patients with breast cancer who underwent IVF are studied the prognostic factors (Ki67, HER2, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), oncogene p53, histologic grade) in relation to the ovary response and number of IVF cycles. Results: 73 patients with breast cancer after IVF are studied. They performed 135 cycles of IVF, 36 (49’3%) with 1 IVF and 37 (50’7%) with more than one IVF. Hyper response was present in at least one IVF in 24 (32.9%) patients and there was no hyper response in any IVF in 49 (67.1%) patients. The prognostic factors were: Ki 67> 20 in 31'91% (15/47) Ki 67 <20 in 68'08% (32/47), HER2 + 31'94% (23/72) HER2- 68'05% (49/72), p53 + 45'09% (23/51), p53-54'90% (28/51), HG II-III 56'36% (31/55), HG I 43'63% ( 24/55), RE + 87'5% (63/72), RE- 12'5% (9/72), RP + 76'38% (55/72), RP- 23'61% (17/72). None of prognostic factors varied with the ovary response (hyper response in at least one IVF cycle, normal response, normal or low response) (p=ns). The only prognostic factor that varied with the IVF number was p53 +. Patients with p53 + (23/51), 7 (30’43%) has one IVF, and 16 (69’53%) have more one IVF (p<0’05). Conclusions: In breast cancer after IVF, the ovary stimulation and the follicular response not affect Ki67, HER2, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, p53, and histologic grade. p53 positive is more frequent in patients with more than one IVF.

End Point

Objective. While the value of Ki-67 has been recognized in breast cancer, controversy also exists. The goal of this study is to show the prognostic value of Ki-67 according to progesterone receptor (PgR) expression in patients who have estrogen receptor- (ER-) positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2- (HER2-) negative early breast cancer. Methods. The records of nonmetastatic invasive breast cancer patients who underwent surgery at a single institution between 2009 and 2012 were reviewed. Primary end point was recurrence-free survival (RFS), and secondary end point was overall survival (OS). Ki-67 and PgR were assessed with immunohistochemistry for the tumor after surgery. Results. A total of 1848 patients were enrolled in this study. 223 (12%) patients had high (≥10%) Ki-67, and 1625 (88%) had low Ki-67 expression. Significantly worse RFS and OS were observed in the high vs. low Ki-67 expression only when the PgR was low (<20%) (p<0.001 and 0.005, respectively, for RFS and OS). There was no significant difference in RFS and OS according to Ki-67 when the PgR was high (p=0.120 and 0.076). RFS of four groups according to high/low Ki-67 and PgR expression was compared. The low PgR and high Ki-67 expression group showed worst outcome among them (p<0.001). In a multivariate analysis, high Ki-67 was an independent prognostic factor when the PgR was low (HR 3.05; 95% CI 1.50–6.19; p=0.002). Conclusions. Ki-67 had a value as a prognostic factor only under low PgR expression level in early breast cancer. PgR should be considered in evaluating the prognosis of breast cancer patients using Ki-67.

BackgroundGrowth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible protein 45 alpha (GADD45A) was previously found to be associated with risk of several kinds of human tumors. Here, we studied the expression and clinical significance of GADD45A in breast cancer.MethodsWe performed an immunohistochemical study of GADD45A protein from 419 breast cancer tissues and 116 adjacent non-neoplastic tissues.ResultsSignificantly high GADD45A expression were observed in breast cancer tissues compared with adjacent non-neoplastic tissues (P < 0.001) and were independently correlative with estrogen receptor negative (P = 0.028) and high Ki-67 index (P < 0.001). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with high GADD45A expression levels had a worse long-term prognosis in triple negative breast cancer (P = 0.041), but it was not an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis (P = 0.058).ConclusionsGADD45A expression levels are significantly correlative with estrogen receptor status and Ki-67 index in human breast cancer. Patients with triple negative breast cancer might be stratified into high risk and low risk groups based on the GADD45A expression levels.
