ER negative and Triple negative breast cancers carry a poorer prognosis and are not amenable to hormone therapy. It has been previously observed that Indian patients with breast cancer have a higher tendency to have these tumours. Whether this is due to inherent biological differences in the tumours of our patients is a matter of much debate. We have analysed 250 patients of breast cancer for hormone receptor status, compared them with western series, and attempted to support the hypothesis that the higher ER negativity and triple negativity is indeed due to different tumour biology.
雌激素受体阴性和三阴性乳腺癌的预后较差,且不适合接受激素治疗。此前已有观察发现,印度乳腺癌患者患这些肿瘤的倾向更高。这是否归因于我们患者肿瘤中固有的生物学差异,是一个备受争议的问题。我们分析了250例乳腺癌患者的激素受体状态,将其与西方系列研究进行比较,并试图支持以下假设:雌激素受体阴性率和三阴性率较高确实是由于不同的肿瘤生物学特性所致。
