Objective:an immunohistochemical analysis of the characteristics of a recurrent tumor in breast cancer.Materials and methods.The statistical processing of immunohistochemical analysis’ results was performed and the most frequently encountered molecular-genetic subtypes of breast cancer with the development of local relapses were formulated. The analysis used a standard immunohistochemical panel, which is the “gold standard” for diagnostic in Russia today, and includes the expression of receptors for sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone), expression of the human epidermal growth factor HER2/neu receptor gene, and the index of proliferative activity Ki-67. The 2nd stage of the work was the evaluation of the dynamics of changes in the immunohistochemical characteristics of a recurrent tumor in comparison with the primary one.Results and conclusion.The most common local recurrence provides by triple-negative subtype of breast cancer (42 %). The changes in the immunohistochemical characteristics of a recurrent tumor in comparison with the primary one affected only the index of proliferative activity Ki-67 in the direction of its increase by 12 %.

Aim. The aim of the study was to determine the presence of peculiarities of the age structure in patients with various surrogate molecular biological subtypes of breast cancer. Materials and research methods. This work analyzes the age-related characteristics of the occurrence of molecular biological subtypes in 499 patients with invasive breast cancer. All cases were divided into 5 molecular biological subtypes based on immunohistochemical studies of hormone receptors, Her2, Ki-67. The average age of the patients was 53.4±0.39 years, the predominant group was patients from 50 to 60 years (37.2% of the total). Research results. In patients under 40 years old, the triple negative subtype prevailed (44.8%). Luminal A subtype prevailed in the groups 51-60 years old (more than 41.4%) and over 60 years old (39.7%). Luminal B (Her2-) subtype was equally found in all age groups.

BACKGROUND: Polymorphism of the genes of Human Epidermal growth factor receptor1 (HER1) and receptor2 (HER2) have been reported to be linked to pathogenesis of several malignant tumors but still there is contradiction regarding their association with breast cancer.OBJECTIVE: In this case control study we aimed to analyze the frequency ofHER1R497K (rs 11543848) andHER2I655V (rs 1136201) Polymorphisms in breast cancer.SUBJECT AND METHOD: The frequency ofHER1Arg(R) 497Lys (K) andHER2Ile (I) 655Val (V) polymorphisms were tested in 64 breast cancer patients and 86 normal control by polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment polymorphism detection. Immunohistochemical analysis was done for HER2 protein on the available 18 malignant tissue samples.RESULTS:HER1497K andHER2655V variant had significantly increased breast cancer risk (OR=2.6, 95% CI 1.6–4.2, OR=2.2, 95% CI 1.2–4.1, p< 0.05) respectively. Moreover, combinedHER1K497 andHER2V655 variant was detected in 26.6% malignant in comparison to 8.14% of control group (OR=4.1, 95% CI 1.58–10.57), but, no significant association was noticed between both Polymorphisms and clinicopathological features of the disease. As regard HER2 immunohistochemical expression no significant correlation was revealed with HER2 655V polymorphism.CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest thatHER1497K andHER2655V polymorphisms are potential risk factor for development of breast cancer.

e11502 Background: As for hormonal receptor (ER, PgR), also human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) expression in breast cancer primitive tumor (PT) could be different from that of metastatic site (MS). These differences arise some questions about clinically useful information given and accuracy of methods to detect biological features. Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) of metastatic sites could be an available tool to characterize biologic pattern of lesions, using immunocytochemical and/or molecular assay. The aim of the study is to compare prognostic and predictive factors obtained from PT and corresponding MS. Methods: Thirty-eight consecutive metastatic breast cancer patients underwent FNA on metastatic sites in order to re-evaluate receptor status, proliferative activity and HER-2/Neu amplification. In MS the material was achieved using FNA with a 21-23 G needle and obtaining monolayer and the corresponding cito-inclusion. MS were localized in liver (21), lung (8) and distant lymph-nodes (9). ERs, PgRs and Ki-67 were detected in both PT and MS, in 38 cases by immunochemistry, whereas HER-2/Neu amplification was detected on citoinclusion in 35 evaluable cases by FISH. Results: ERs, PgRs and Ki-67 were detected in both PT and in MS, in 36, 34, 25 out of 38 cases respectively, showing a significant loss of hormonal receptors and a decreased proliferative activity in MS versus PT (t-test p: 0.0195, <0.0001 and 0.0120 respectively). Regarding to HER-2/Neu amplification, 28 out of 35 evaluable cases were not amplified while 6 were amplified both in PT and in MS (Pearson Test: r=0.9 p: <0.0001). Another case, HER/Neu amplified in TP, after therapy with trastuzumab resulted not amplified in MS. Conclusions: According to other authors, our data demonstrated that the lost of HER/Neu amplification in MS is a possible event and that FNA samples of MS are available for HER/Neu detection.

Despite significant advances in the early diagnosis and treatment of locally advanced breast cancer, 60–65% of the Republic of Uzbekistan is accounted for by locally advanced breast cancer and its mortality rate is high. The morphological structure of breast cancer is important for the prognosis of the disease. On cell membranes there are special cytoplasmic proteins - receptors, which, when combined with hormones, can affect the rate of division of tumor cells. In terms of the choice of treatment options and the assessment of the forecast, some molecular genetic parameters of the tumor are important, among which, first of all, the hormonal status of the tumor (ER / PR), HER-2 / neu, p53, Bcl-2, Ki-67

Breast cancer is a leading malignant disease in women worldwide, although its pathology is visually localised. Currently, it has been proven that the parameters of molecular genetic biomarkers, including oncoprotein HER2, proliferation markers Ki-67, oestrogen receptors ER, and progesterone receptors PgR, are associated with breast carcinogenesis and are a reflection of the biological aggression of the tumour. The significance of these biomarkers in signalling pathways and genetic mechanisms of carcinogenesis has been described, as well as the relationship between the expression levels of each biomarker and the tumour response to appropriate therapy. The primary antibody that imparts specificity to IHC is based on the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) as the main immunoreagent that enables reliable identification of breast cancer cells. The most commonly used antibodies to molecular biomarkers for IHC were determined in accordance with indicators of laboratory use and efficiency (pass rate) of HER2, Ki-67, ER, PgR assessments in the NordiQC breast cancer module. The discovery of the complete structure of these biomarkers and the design of their domains and subdomains by genetic engineering methods enable the synthesis of effective monoclonal antibodies. Quantitative indicators of the expression levels of tumour biomarkers of breast cancer were determined using mAb, depending on epitope specificity and affinity.
