  • Breast carcinoma with neoductgenesis : a new subgroup of breast cancer
  • Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Background: A new subgroup of breast cancer has been proposed: breast carcinoma with neoductgenesis. Cases presenting with casting type calcifications on the mammogram, histologically high grade DCIS with an abnormal number of ducts, periductal desmoplastic reaction and lymphocyte infiltration has been suggested to represent a more aggressive form of breast cancer. Treatment decision based on traditional histopathology showing DCIS might be challenged if neoductgenesis is diagnosed. We evaluated a histological classification system proposed for neoductgenesis and studied tumor biology in cases with and without neoductgenesis.   Material and Method: Seventy-four tumors with DCIS grade 2-3, with or without an invasive component, were blocked in TMAs. A classification system based on a pathological evaluation and Tenascin-C (Tn-C) expression was used to categorize tumors as showing neoductgenesis or not. Immunohistochemical staining for known tumor markers and correlation with mammographic features was performed. Logistic regression model was use to evaluate the correlation between breast carcinoma with neoductgenesis and molecular- and mammographic features.   Results: Four pathologists could categorize cases as “possible neoductgenesis” with an overall correlation of 72% and a kappa value of 0.44. Adding Tn-C staining resulted in a group with neoductgenesis (n=37) and one without (n=31). Neoductgenesis correlated significantly with mammographic casting- and crushed stone microcalcifications and estrogen receptor status (p-values 0.04 and 0.03, respectively). High nuclear grade, HER2 positivity, progesterone receptor negativity and high proliferation were also more often seen in the group with neoductgenesis, but this was not statistically significant (0.10, 0.07, 0.20 and 0.29).   Discussion: We developed reproducible histologic criteria for a new entity: breast carcinoma with neoductgenesis. The system seemed to be useful in receiving reproducibility between pathologists making the diagnosis. Neoductgenesis was related to more aggressive tumor biology and to the mammographic features. Our findings have to be repeated and the relation to prognosis further studied. However, we can already predict a potential benefit for women earlier considered having a pure DCIS but now diagnosed as breast carcinoma with neoductgenesis and a need to develop appropriate treatment regiments.

  • Expression of ghrelin is correlated to good outcome in invasive breast cancer
  • Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
    • Purpose: Expression of the peptide hormones ghrelin and obestatin has previously been demonstrated in human mammary glands. However, the clinical implications of the expression of these peptides in breast cancer are unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential clinical value of ghrelin and obestatin as breast cancer biomarkers. Experimental Design: A tissue microarray containing breast cancer specimens from 144 patients was immunostained with antibodies versus ghrelin and obestatin. The expression of the two peptides was evaluated and correlated to previously known prognostic factors in breast cancer and to the outcome. Cox-regression analysis was used to assess whether these markers may predict survival status of breast cancer patients. Results: Moderate to strong immunoreactivity for ghrelin and obestatin was observed in 71.5% and 77.1% of the cases, respectively. Ghrelin and obestatin expression was significantly but weakly correlated to low histological grade, estrogen receptor positivity, small tumor size and low proliferation. In both uni- and multivariate analyses ghrelin expression was correlated to significantly better recurrence-free and breast cancer-specific survival. Reproducibility between the two readers was very good for both stainings with kappa values of 0.94-1.00. Conclusion: Patients with tumors expressing ghrelin had 2-3 times lower risk for recurrence or breast cancer death than those lacking ghrelin expression. Ghrelin expression is easily assessable with high reproducibility using immunohistochemistry. Further investigations are needed to establish the clinical significance of ghrelin as a biomarker in breast cancer.
