This retrospective analysis was designed to confirm the predictive role of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type I (PAI-1) in the outcome of early stage, node-negative breast cancer patients.
Node-negative patients having not received adjuvant chemotherapy, and for whom frozen samples were available, were selected.
Among the 169 patients included, 56.8% presented with uPA >3 ng/mg of proteins and/or PAI-1 >14 ng/mg of proteins. The median follow-up was 73 months. Significant correlations were found between uPA and disease-free survival (p [univariate]=0.003; p [multivariate]=0.01), and between uPA, PAI-1, and uPA plus PAI-1 and distant relapses (p=0.002). No significant correlation was found between uPA/PAI-1 and the risk of locoregional recurrence.
This study demonstrated that uPA and PAI-1 are useful predictors of distant metastases in a subset of early stage, node-negative breast cancer patients.
本回顾性分析旨在证实尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活物(uPA)和纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂I型(PAI - 1)在早期、淋巴结阴性乳腺癌患者预后中的预测作用。
选择未接受辅助化疗且有冷冻样本可用的淋巴结阴性患者。
在纳入的169例患者中,56.8%的患者uPA>3 ng/mg蛋白和/或PAI - 1>14 ng/mg蛋白。中位随访时间为73个月。发现uPA与无病生存期之间存在显著相关性(单因素p = 0.003;多因素p = 0.01),uPA、PAI - 1以及uPA加PAI - 1与远处复发之间存在显著相关性(p = 0.002)。未发现uPA/PAI - 1与局部区域复发风险之间存在显著相关性。
本研究表明,uPA和PAI - 1是一部分早期、淋巴结阴性乳腺癌患者远处转移的有用预测指标。
