Abstract

During the past decade, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been increasingly used in patients to reduce large tumors to a size eligible for breast-conserving therapy (BCT). However, the association between NAC and Ki-67 has not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of Ki-67, specifically after NAC followed by BCT, particularly in terms of locoregional recurrence (LRR). A total 217 patients who received BCT after NAC were retrospectively analyzed. In these patients, immunohistochemistry analyses defined four tumor subtypes, Luminal A, Luminal B, Triple negative, and HER2 type. Ki-67 was examined by immunohistochemistry in both pretreatment core needle samples and post-treatment surgical excision specimens. High Ki-67 expression was defined as >20%. The prognostic factors LRR, locoregional relapse-free survival (LRRFS), and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. In total, LRR developed in 14 patients, and the 5 year-LRRFS was 94.2%. Post-treatment high Ki-67 expression, triple negative, the presence of lymphovascular invasion, and histological grade 3 were significantly high in LRR for prognostic factors (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in Kaplan-Meier method for ...Continue Reading
