We examined the concordance rate of Ki-67 expressions, hormone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status from a CNB with from a surgery in invasive breast cancer. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on a clinical database of patients who underwent surgery for early breast cancer. Of these, 193 patients who underwent CNB before the surgery were enrolled. A cut-off value of 20% was used for Ki-67-positive criteria. Expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), and HER2 were examined and compared with that of Ki-67. To evaluate discordance between the pathologists’ earlier assessments, we re-examined Ki-67 expression among the Ki-67 discordant group in a central laboratory. Results: The concordance rate for Ki-67 expression between the two specimen types was 77.7%, which was significantly lower than that for ER, PgR, and HER2 expression (95.9%, 88.1%, and 91.6%, respectively). The concordance rate for re-examined Ki-67 expression among the Ki-67 discordant group improved to 93.8% and was not significantly different from that for the other receptors. Conclusion: The concordance rate for Ki-67 expression between biopsy and surgical specimens was significantly lower than that for ER, PgR, and HER2 expressions, but re-examination of Ki-67 expression in a central laboratory revealed no significant difference among the receptors, suggesting the need for standard pathological assessment of Ki-67 expression for clinical use as a predictive marker of breast cancer.展开更多

Materials and Methods: Seventy-three GCs were evaluated for the expression of HER-2/neu and Ki-67 using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) was done for HER2/neu IHC score 2+ cases. Results: Out of the 73 gastric carcinomas, 23 (31.5%) were score 0, 17 (23.3%) were score 1+, 23 (31.5%) were score 2+, and 10 (13.7%) were score 3+. FISH analysis revealed that the HER-2/neu gene was amplified in 11 out of the 23 cases (47.8%) scored 2+ by IHC. Therefore, the overall HER-2/neu positivity rate was 28.8% and it was significantly associated with higher T-stage and lymphovascular invasion (LVI). The Ki-67 expression rate ranged between 10% and 100%, with 84.9% of the cases (n = 62) featuring high Ki-67 scores. High Ki-67 score was significantly associated with male sex, tumor grade, and number of positive nodes. HER-2/neu protein expression correlated significantly with Ki-67 score. Twenty tumors showed combined HER-2/neu positivity and high Ki-67 score and were significantly associated with higher T-stage and occurrence of LVI, implying a more aggressive behavior. Conclusions: The rate of HER-2/neu positive GCs in our series simulates universal rates, thereby mandating routine evaluation of HER-2/neu status in all GCs submitted to our laboratory to benefit from trastuzumab therapy. Further studies on a larger number of GCs are required to prove that the concurrent HER-2/neu positivity and high Ki-67 score are markers of worse prognosis.展开更多

Prognostic biomarkers might provide useful information for treatment selection and adjustment. Objective: To evaluate the prognostic relevance of VEGF-A and Ki-67 expression to types of neck management. Methods: This prospective study included 140 patients with HNSCC. Tumor expression of VEGF-A and Ki-67 was measured by immunohistochemistry. Based on tumor size and site criteria, 88 patients with N0 neck were categorized as high, intermediate and low risk of subclinical neck diseases and accordingly treated by elective neck dissection (END), irradiation (ENI) and observation. Adjuvant treatment was given to tumor with close or positive margins. A multivariate Cox regression model was used to identify prognostic factors. Impact of biomarker expression, treatment type and risk category on disease-specific survival (DSS) in the setting of N0 neck were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival and adjusted hazard ratio (HR). Results: Coexpression of VEGF-A and Ki-67 (HR = 2.351, p = 0.021) and positive node (HR = 2.301, p = 0.009) were independent prognostic factors for HNSCC. In the setting of N0 neck, marker coexpression has an HR of 4.97 (p = 0.004) independent of treatment modalities (p = 0.069) and risk categories (p = 0.971). Alternatively, neither marker expression was predictive of a better treatment outcome for END compared to ENI, as suggested by the odds of patients being survived 15.4 times greater (p = 0.01) and the 5-year DSS rates of 85.1% versus 44.7% (p = 0.008). Conclusion: Coexpression of VEGF-A and Ki-67 is a suggestion of tumor microinvasiveness in addition to risk of lymph node metastasis and may indicate the need of adjuvant treatment despite negative tumor margins. Neither marker expression serves an indicator for the selection of END over ENI in neck management.展开更多

文摘目的探讨表观扩散系数(apparent diffusion coefficient,ADC)鉴别诊断肺癌脑转移瘤组织学分型的价值及其与Ki-67增殖指数之间的关系。材料与方法回顾性分析经手术病理证实的20例小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤和41例非小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤患者的资料,并测定其Ki-67增殖指数。在ADC图上测量肿瘤实性部分的最小ADC值(the minimum ADC,ADCmin)、平均ADC值(the mean ADC,ADCmean)及对侧正常脑白质ADC值,并计算相对ADCmin(relative ADCmin,rADCmin)及相对ADCmean(relative ADCmean,rADCmean)。对比分析二者ADC值的差异,绘制受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)曲线评价ADC值的鉴别诊断价值,并计算ADC值与Ki-67增殖指数之间的相关性。结果小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤组的ADCmin、ADCmean、rADCmin及rADCmean值均小于非小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤组,组间差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。各ADC值均能对小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤及非小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤进行有效鉴别,其中rADCmean值的鉴别诊断效能最好,曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)为0.950[95%置信区间(confidence interval,CI):0.907~0.994],最佳截断值为0.955,相应的敏感度和特异度分别为96.23%、83.87%,准确度为91.67%。小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤组的Ki-67增殖指数大于非小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤组,组间差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。61例肺癌脑转移瘤患者的ADCmin、ADCmean、rADCmin及rADCmean值均与Ki-67增殖指数呈不同程度的负相关(r=-0.506、r=-0.480、r=-0.569、r=-0.541)。结论ADC值可以对肺癌脑转移瘤的组织学分型进行鉴别诊断,并可以预测Ki-67增殖指数的表达水平。

文摘BACKGROUND Prostate cancer(PCa)is a widespread malignancy,predominantly affecting elderly males,and current methods for diagnosis and treatment of this disease continue to fall short.The marker Ki-67(MKI67)has been previously demonstrated to correlate with the proliferation and metastasis of various cancer cells,including those of PCa.Hence,verifying the association between MKI67 and the diagnosis and prognosis of PCa,using bioinformatics databases and clinical data analysis,carries significant clinical implications.AIM To explore the diagnostic and prognostic efficacy of antigens identified by MKI67 expression in PCa.METHODS For cohort 1,the efficacy of MKI67 diagnosis was evaluated using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx)databases.For cohort 2,the diagnostic and prognostic power of MKI67 expression was further validated using data from 271 patients with clinical PCa.RESULTS In cohort 1,MKI67 expression was correlated with prostate-specific antigen(PSA),Gleason Score,T stage,and N stage.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve showed a strong diagnostic ability,and the Kaplan-Meier method demonstrated that MKI67 expression was negatively associated with the progression-free interval(PFI).The time-ROC curve displayed a weak prognostic capability for MKI67 expression in PCa.In cohort 2,MKI67 expression was significantly related to the Gleason Score,T stage,and N stage;however,it was negatively associated with the PFI.The time-ROC curve revealed the stronger prognostic capability of MKI67 in patients with PCa.Multivariate COX regression analysis was performed to select risk factors,including PSA level,N stage,and MKI67 expression.A nomogram was established to predict the 3-year PFI.CONCLUSION MKI67 expression was positively associated with the Gleason Score,T stage,and N stage and showed a strong diagnostic and prognostic ability in PCa.
文摘目的探讨乳腺癌摄取^(99)Tc^(m)-甲氧异腈(MIBI)与Ki-67抗原表达的关系,并验证Ki-67预测新辅助化疗(NAC)疗效的价值。方法回顾性分析2018年1月至2020年3月于宁夏医科大学总医院就诊的47例乳腺癌患者NAC前后双时相^(99)Tc^(m)-MIBI SPECT/CT断层融合显像,分析T/N比值和肿瘤大小在治疗前后的变化及与Ki-67之间的关系。采用两样本t检验、直线相关性及χ^(2)检验分析数据。结果乳腺癌^(99)Tc^(m)-MIBI显像NAC前后20 min T/N比值、2 h T/N比值下降差异有统计意义(P<0.05),肿瘤NAC化疗前后最大径缩小差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);Ki-67高表达组与低表达组患者NAC后T/N比值下降和肿瘤缩小差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);Ki-67的表达与20 min和2 h T/N比值有相关性(P<0.05)。结论Ki-67抗原表达和乳腺^(99)Tc^(m)-MIBI显像有助于了解肿瘤增殖,Ki-67抗原表达对NAC疗效有预测价值,可用于指导临床治疗。
