Abstract:
Objective To discuss the application value of cancer gene c-erbB-2 and its protein products P185 in evaluation of the diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer with lymph node metastasis,and to explore the relationship between c-erbB-2 expression and tumor pathology classification,relapse.Methods 112 cases with mammary disease were selected as the research subjects.According to different clinical diagnosis,they were divided into breast cancer lymph node metastasis group,breast cancer without metastasis group and mammary gland benign pathological change group.The c-erbB-2 gene and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) were detected by immunohistochemical method,enzyme-linked immunosorbent(ELISA) and electrochemical luminescence method.The c-erbB-2 protein(P185)and CEA of the three groups were compared,the sensitivity and specificity of c-erbB-2 expression and CEA in the diagnosis of breast cancer with lymph node metastasis were analyzed.At the same time,the relationship between cerbB-2 expression and tumor pathology classification,relapse was analyzed.Results P185 and CEA index of breast cancer lymph node metastasis group and breast cancer without metastasis group were significantly higher than those of mammary gland benign pathological change group(t =7.093,6.443,9.232,8.508,all P ＜ 0.0 1),and P185 index of breast cancer lymph node metastasis group was significantly higher than without metastasis group (t =2.281,P ＜0.05),and there was no significant difference of CEA between the two breast cancer groups (t =0.406,P ＞ 0.05).The sensitivity of c-erbB-2 expression in dignosis of breast cancer lymph node metastasis had no difference with CEA (x2 =0.632,P ＞ 0.05),but the specificity was significantly higher than CEA(x2 =11.900,P ＜ 0.01).The positive expression rate of c-erbB-2 and tumor pathology classification had no obvious relation:Postoperative recurrence rate of c-erbB-2 positive expression patients was significantly higher than the negative expression patients(x2 =5.141,P ＜0.05).Conclusion c-erbB-2 gene and its protein product has good sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of breast cancer lymph node metastasis,and has obvious correlation with postoperative breast cancer recurrence,has important reference value in evaluation of the diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer.
