Objective To investigate the distribution of breast invasive ductal carcinoma with different molecular subtypes ,and to study the relationship between molecular subtypes and clinical pathological features in Xinjiang area .Methods A total of 621 patients with IDC from January 2013 to January 2014 was classified into Luminal A type,Luminal B type,HER-2 overexpression type and Basal -like type,different molecular subtypes according to the estrogen receptor(ER),progesterone receptor(PR),epidermal growth factor receptor -2(HER-2) and Ki-67,and compared the statistics combining with the clinical pathological characteristics of IDC .Re-sults The result showed that Luminal B type accounted for 53.1%,Luminal A type,HER-2 overexpression type and Basal-like type accounted for 14.5%,15.9%,16.4%,respectively.There were significant differences between the molecular subtypes and tumor size ,histological grade ,tumor pathological stage ,the expression of ER , PR and HER-2(P<0.05 for all).There were no correlations between the molecular subtypes and age ,as well as lymph node metastasis(P>0.05).Conclusion There is a close relationship between invasive ductal carcino-ma of different molecular subtypes and clinical pathological characteristics .The molecular subtypes are beneficial to treatment guidelines for clinical individual .

Objective To analyze the efficacy and cosmetic results of intensity modulate radiation therapy (IMRT) for breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery.Methods From 2003 to 2006, 117 patients with breast cancer, after breast-conserving surgery followed by 4 - 6 cycles of chemotherapy,received intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT).The radiation dose was 50 Gy in 25 fractions to the whole breast and 10 Gy boost to the tumor bed.Patients with positive hormone receptors then received endocrine treatment.Results The follow-up rate was 94.0% until September 2009.114 and 91 patients were followed up to 3 and 5 years, respectively.The 3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 99.1% and 96%.The 5-year disease free survival and local recurrence rates were 88% and 3.6%.Cosmetic results were satisfied.Severe radiation toxicities, such as radiation pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis and heart injury were not found.Conclusions Patients treated with IMRT after breast-conserving surgery have a satisfied prognosis as well as cosmetic results.
