摘要: Unexpected outcomes in breast cancer demand a refinement of prognostic criteria. This study therefore investigated the relevance cyclin expression cohort 332 T1-T2 N0 infiltrating ductal carcinomas with long-term follow-up (median 99 months). By univariate analysis, tumour size, histopathological grade, hormone receptor content, E, B, and Ki-S5 (Ki-67) index significantly predicted disease-specific metastasis-free survival. Cyclin A did not achieve statistical significance. In multivariate both E [relative risk (RR) 2.01, p = 0.021] B (RR 1.85, 0.033) were selected as independent prognosticators survival when Ki-67 was omitted, but only associated 2.56, 0.006). When included covariate, lost its significance respect to remained significant for an analogous analysis including Ki-67, number concurrently overexpressed cyclins attain regarding leading predictor metastatic disease. It is concluded that combined overexpression may imply genetic instability enhancing potential, ultimately depends on proliferative activity cells.
