Abstract

Aspartate beta-hydroxylase (ASPH) is a transmembrane protein involved in cancer progression, which has been shown to imply a worse prognosis in several solid tumors. The aim of the present study was to further investigate the prognostic value of ASPH in early breast cancer. ASPH expression was investigated through immunohistochemistry in a cohort of 153 breast cancer patients with long-term follow-up, and correlated with clinical-pathological features plus all-cause and breast-cancer-specific mortality. Appropriate statistics were utilized. ASPH negatively correlated with all-cause and breast-cancer-specific mortality. The results of this cohort study support the prognostic value of ASPH in early breast cancer.
