ABSTRACT
Introduction: Recently, it has been studied that histological factors in primary breast tumor are predictive of axillary node status. The aim of our study was to analyze the classical histological tumor factors and genetic study of the tumor suppressor gene p53 as likely predictors of metastatic axillary nodal involvement in breast cancer.
Materials and methods: This analytical study type -Factor Ex post included 100 patients diagnosed with breast adenocarcinoma, who were breast surgery was performed with axillary dissection. Histopathological analysis correlated the predictive value of lymphovascular invasion of tumor present and p53 gene mutation and the probability of axillary metastases.
Results: The average age was 54.5 years. Thirty patients with lymphatic invasion, 24 (80%) had metastases to axillary nodes. Sixteen of 70 cases without lymphatic invasion had axillary metastases (p = 0.000008). The only vascular invasion occurred in 12 patients; no statistical significant difference for axillary metastatic disease (p = 0.16). In 18 patients there was p53 gene mutation; of these, 15 had significant statistically axillary metastases (83%) (p = 0.0025). There were positive predictive value (PPV) for axillary lymph node infiltration 83.3%. In tumors without gene mutation, the correlation with the presence of the axillary metastases were not predictive.
Conclusions: Lymphatic and vascular invasion in the primary tumor associated are adverse prognostic factors associated with axillary lymph node metastases. The mutated p53 gene in the primary tumor is a PPV for axillary metastasis.
