Abstract
Molecular classification of breast cancer is target to category patient groups who need to treat by the appropriate adjuvant therapy and provide more exact prognostic information.
Purpose: Determining the proportion of molecular types and commenting on some association with clinicpathological characteristics of breast cancer.
Methods: 521 operated breast cancer patients were stained by immunohistochemistry with markes such as: ER, PR, HER2, and Ki67 for classifying into 5 molecular categories and follow up assessment.
Results: Type LUMBH- accounted for the highest proportion of 26.5%, followed by luminal A (22.5%). Typically, LUMA was the highest rate in good NPI (35.0%), whereas in poor NPI group, HER2 type was the highest rate (36.4%) (p<0.001). The LUMBH - group has the OS rate during the 5-year follow-up of 94.6% and LUMA is 93.5%; In contrast, the HER2 group showed the lowest OS ratio (72.6%) (p<0.05
Conclusion: Molecular classification of breast cancer according to St Gallen 2013 classification can provide the important information for treatment and prognosis.
