摘要
目的:探讨血管生成与腋淋巴结阴性乳腺癌(ANNBC) 临床病理及预后关系,为ANNBC 寻求一种新的预后因子。方法:选择80 例随访资料完整的根治或改良根治术后的ANNBC 女病人( 中位随访期8 年,35 例术后实施了辅助治疗,45 例未接受辅助治疗) 的石蜡标本,用免疫组化方法染色微血管及检测血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)表达, 单因素和多因素方法分析肿瘤微血管密度( MVD) 和VEGF 的表达对ANNBC 预后的关系。结果: 全部病例MVD 平均值为35-99±20-27 ,VEGF 阳性率为36-25 % , 两者均与一般临床病理因素无关, 高复发转移组或VEGF表达阳性组MVD 显著高于无病生存组或VEGF 表达阴性组( P< 0-01) ,高MVD 组(MVD > 35) 或VEGF 阳性组OS 和DFS 曲线低于低MVD 组(MVD≤35) 及VEGF 阴性组,有统计学差异( P< 0-05 或P< 0-01) ,对术后未加辅助治疗的45 例病人分析,其结果也一致。分析术后加辅助治疗的35 例患者,只有VEGF 阴阳两组间DFS 有差异。结论:VEGF 阳性表达者血管生成活跃,MVD 值高,高MVD、VEGF 表达阳性的ANNBC 预后差,术?
Objective:To determine the relation of microvessel density (MVD) and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with the prognosis of axillary node negative breast carcinoma (ANNBC) for searching for new prognostic factors.Methods:Eighty specimens resected from patients with ANNBC were investigated by staining with a monoclonal antibody against FVⅢ RA and polyclonal antibody against VEGF. Correlations between the expression of VEGF,MVD and several of clinicopathologic factors were studied.Results:The mean of MVD was 35 99±20 27 in all patients.The positive rate of VEGF was 36 25%.Both of them were not correlated with the clinicopathological factors. MVD was significantly higher in VEGF positive tumors or relapsed or metastatic group than in VEGF negative tumors or disease free survival group. Moreover, patients with higher MVD or VEGF positive tumors had lower disease free survival (DFS) or overall survival (OS) than those with lower MVD or VEGF negative tumors. When those (45 cases) without adjuvant therapies after surgery were analyzed, the results were the same.But OS of them (35 cases) with adjuvant therapies had no significiant difference between high and low MVD group, and between VEGF positive and negative group.DFS was the same among VEGF positive and negative group. Multivariate analysis indicated that MVD, the expression of VEGF and tumor size were independent prognostic factors in patients with ANNBC. Conclusions:MVD, the expression of VEGF may be good prognostic indicators for patients with ANNBC and adjuvant therapies after surgery or antiangiogenic therapy may be useful to improve the prognosis of patients with high MVD or VEGF positive tumors.
