To investigate the clinicopathologic features of and appropriate treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast (DCIS).The clinical and pathologic data of 41 cases of DCIS, aged 52.7 (30-82), 15 of which were diagnosed as with ductal carcinoma in situ with microinvasion (DCIS-MI) and of which 18 were in the Van Nuys grade I, 13 in the grade II, and 10 in the grade III, were collected and analyzed. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to examine the expressions of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), P53 and C-erbB-2.Microinvasion was correlated with the histologic categories (chi(2) = 4.60, P0.05) and tumor size (chi(2) = 9.78, P0.05) significantly. The expression rates of ER, PR, PCNA, P53, and C-erbB-2 were 68.3%, 65.9%, 63.4%, 26.8%, and 46.3%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the expression of the biologic markers between the patients with DCIS and those with DCIS-MI. The expression levels of ER, P53, and C-erbB-2 were correlated with the histologic categories significantly (chi(2) = 11.45, 11.97, 4.38, P0.05).The Van Nuys histologic classification accords with the requirement of clinical treatment and prognosis. The patients with DCIS should undergo individualized treatment. |
