摘要: Purpose: Her-2/neu and p53-mediated signalling have been shown to interact at various cellular levels. However, the clinical relevance of p53 alterations in patients receiving trastuzumab for Her-2/neu-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remains unknown. The present study was performed corroborate previous vitro findings from our laboratory showing that induces growth arrest apoptosis a p53-independent manner. Method: Retrospective immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis protein expression carried out on tumour specimens 104 trastuzumab-based treatment MBC single institution. status correlated with response (R) benefit (CB), median progression-free survival (PFS) time overall (OAS) univariate multivariate analyses. Results: Characteristics were similar between p53-negative p53-positive tumours (all P>0.05). In analyses, R (39% vs 26%, P=0.208), CB (70% 57%, P=0.218), PFS (6.2 months 4.2 months, P=0.186) OAS (23.8 23.2 P=0.650) tumours, respectively. not significant predictor R, CB, or Conclusions: status, as determined by IHC, is efficacy MBC.
