Progesterone receptor status (PgR) and oestrogen receptor status (ER) were examined in 332 women with stage I-II breast carcinoma treated at a single centre either by simple mastectomy with (n = 283) or without (n = 6) axillary clearance, or by segmental mastectomy with (n = 18) or without (n = 25) axillary clearance and radiotherapy; median follow-up time was 40 (range 10-60) months. Neither the concentration nor the presence of PgR related to either disease-free interval or survival. However both the presence and the concentration of ER were found to be associated with a longer disease-free interval amongst patients with stage II tumours (P less than 0.01). From this study it appears that progesterone receptor status does not predict outcome in early breast carcinoma.
对在单一中心接受治疗的332例I-II期乳腺癌女性患者的孕激素受体状态(PgR)和雌激素受体状态(ER)进行了检测。这些患者有的接受单纯乳房切除术,其中进行腋窝清扫的有283例,未进行腋窝清扫的有6例;有的接受乳房部分切除术,其中进行腋窝清扫并接受放疗的有18例,未进行腋窝清扫的有25例。中位随访时间为40(范围10 - 60)个月。PgR的浓度及是否存在均与无病生存期或生存率无关。然而,在II期肿瘤患者中,ER的存在及浓度均与较长的无病生存期相关(P < 0.01)。从这项研究看来,孕激素受体状态不能预测早期乳腺癌的预后。
