Popis: | The authors immunohistochemically studied the expression of the estrogen receptor (ER), 27-kD heat shock protein (HSP27) and pS2 in 118 invasive primary human breast cancers. Positive nuclear staining of the ER was detected in 64% of the cases and was closely correlated with the biochemical assay (p0.0001). ER-positive tumors were significantly decreased with tumor size and stage (p0.001 each), but not with lymph node status. Positivity of the ER was correlated with the cytoplasmic expression of HSP27 (p0.005), pS2 (not significant) and HSP70 (not significant). ER negativity was significantly correlated with the expression of p53, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and c-erbB-2 (p0.05 each). Thus, it was concluded that ER-positive breast carcinomas, relatively small in size, preferentially expressed HSP27, HSP70 and pS2 and that ER-negative tumors, relatively large in size, were predisposed to express p53, EGFR and c-erbB-2. |
