Kanker payudara merupakan kanker dengan insidens tertinggi pada wanita di dunia maupun di Indonesia. Kanker payudara juga menduduki peringkat pertama sebagai penyebab kematian pada wanita akibat kanker di dunia dan di Indonesia. Tiap tahun ditemukan 1.200 kasus baru penderita kanker payudara pada usia dibawah 30 tahun, Status homonal melalui ekspresi estrogen receptors (ER) dan progesterone receptors (PR) telah lama digunakan untuk menentukan kesesuaian penderita terhadap terapi endokrin. Belakangan ini pemeriksaan human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2/neu) telah digunakan sebagai petanda prognosis dan untuk memprediksi respon pengobatan. Untuk penderita dengan triple negative tumors ini perlu diadakan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menemukan petanda prognosis dan target terapi baru.

Abstract Introduction Globally, breast cancer is a leading cause of female cancer-related mortality and most predominant in the premenopausal stage. Expression of hormone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, HER2/neu, appears to be different in the premenopausal group. However, there are limited data on hormone receptor expressions among women in Uganda. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the expression of estrogen, progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 in women with breast cancer. Methods This was a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional laboratory-based study conducted in the Department of Pathology, Makerere University. Paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were retrieved from the archive and stained with H&E for histological confirmation and establishment of histological grade and type. Immunohistochemistry staining using a mouse-derived monoclonal antibody for hormonal receptors and HER2/neu expression was also done. Data were analyzed using STATA version 13. Results A total of 103 patients’ tissue blocks were analyzed. The mean ± SD age of the cases was 49 ± 15 years. The majority, 55/103 (53.4%), had intermediate cancer grade and 39/103 (37.9%) had triple-negative breast cancer. The majority, 55/103 (53.4%), were positive for ER hormone expression, 48/103 (46.6%) showed positive PR hormone expression, and only 19/103 (18.5%) were HER2/neu positive. Age of the cases showed statistical significance with hormonal receptor expressions and triple-negative breast cancer (P < .05), with high-grade cancers being more common among premenopausal women. Conclusion The study found that the mean age of breast cancer was 49 years, invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST) was the commonest histological type, and the majority were of intermediate cancer grade. In total, 53.4% of patients were ER positive, 46.6% were PR positive, 18.5% were HER2/neu positive, and 37.9% were triple negative. Age was the only factor significantly associated with hormonal receptors and triple-negative breast cancers.

Abstract Background: The expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 has been reported to have invaluable prognostic role. This study aimed at determining the expression ER, PR and HER2 in women with breast cancer in Kampala, Uganda.Methods: Expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) was determined immunohistochemically. Logistic regression was performed to determine the effect of the independent factors in predicting the risk of not expressing the breast markers. A two-tailed p<0.05 was regarded to be statistically significant.Results: ER, PR and HER2 were expressed in 53.4%, 46.6% and 18.5%, respectively. Co-expression of ER and PR and triple negative breast cancer was present in 42.7% and 37.9%, respectively. Age was an independent predictor of expression of ER (AOR = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.062-0.541, p = 0.002), PR (AOR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.129-0.968, p = 0.043).Conclusion: Majority of patients in this study had less than 50 years and the majority of them had infiltrating ductal carcinoma of no special type with grade 2. Age predicted independently the expression of both ER and PR in our study.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive variant of breast cancer, is characterized by lack of expression of the estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PRs) and the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER-2) that are commonly observed in other breast cancer subtypes. The TNBC subtype primarily occurs in younger women of African American or Hispanic descent and tumors tend to be high grade and initially responsive to chemotherapy. However, TNBC is characteristically aggressive with high recurrence, metastatic, and mortality rates. Treatment options are limited since the hormonal receptor and HER-2 antagonists typically used for other breast cancers are ineffective. As such, the mainstay of treatment of TNBC is traditional systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy. Potential future therapies for TNBC include targeted molecular strategies including poly (adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents. Further research aimed at identifying unique genetic characteristics of TNBC may allow development of other targeted molecular chemotherapy treatment options.
