Abstract:
Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of Kif2a in breast carcinoma by the application of tissue microarray. Methods Tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry method (S-P) were used to examine the expression of Kif2a in 102 cases of breast carcinoma tissue and adjacent tissue. The prognosis of 62 cases followed up were studied by both univariate and multivariate analysis. Results The expression of Kif2a has significant difference between breast carcinoma tissue and adjacent tissue. Kif2a expression were associated with lymph nodal involvement and HER2 expression (P < 0.05). In the 62 cases with followed-up data, univariante analysis revealed that the expression of Kif2a, lymph nodal involvement and HER2 expression were correlated with the survival rate. Cox stepwise proportional hazards analysis showed that they were independently prognostic factors. Conclusions Kif2a expression in breast carcinoma were associated with lymph nodal involvement and HER2 expression (P<0.05). It is meaningful to examine Kif2a expression for prognosis of the breast carcinoma.
