Outcome of Breast Carcinoma between ER, PR with HER-2/Neu Positive Receptor Status

Abstract

Background: The most frequent kind of cancer among women is breast cancer. Evidence shows that the receptor profile of primary and metastatic breast cancer tissue differs. Archival-paired pathology samples were evaluated to determine the level of hormone receptor discordance. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the most frequently used biological indicators in breast cancer for predicting how well a patient would respond to surgical management and their outcome. Materials and Methods: This comparative Study was conducted in the surgery department, Rajshahi Medical College, Bangladesh, with a Matricentred base Study from January 2019 to December 2021. They also included patients (n=100) for whom tissue from either the main or secondary metastatic location was detectable. Cancers were compared and analyzed for their ER, PR, and Her-2/neu status in both the primary and the metastatic. Results: The discordance rate for ER was 17.7% (2-sided p=0.0039), with 9.7% of tumors changing from ER-positive to ER-negative and 8.0% changing from ER-negative to ER-positive. The discordance rate for PR was 37.3% (2-sided p<0.0001), with Each and every one of these tumors going through a transition from PR-positive to PR-negative. As far as Her-2/neu is concerned, no major discrepancies were discovered. Conclusions: Hormone receptor status is significantly different between primary and metastatic breast cancer samples, as suggested by this dataset. Common instances of PR decline were observed. More than half of the patients had a positive hormone status, and it was found that the illness had spread to other organs in most of these cases.
