摘要: The aim of present study is to explore the immunohistochemical profiles brain metastases from breast cancer. We retrospectively performed staining for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone (PgR), human epidermal growth factor type 2 (HER2/neu), and cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 in 29 patients with resected tumor specimens metastases. Immunohistochemical ER, PgR HER2/neu was 24 primary tumors. positive frequency PgR, HER2/neu, CK5/6, were 13.8%, 6.9%, 37.9%, 24.1%, respectively. including metastasis differed seven (29.2%, N = 7/24). Interestingly, biological characteristics sometimes changed which represented by staining. Therefore, changes features cancer should be taken into account when developing treatment strategies, new molecular-targeted drugs,
