Genomic studies have shown that the androgen receptor (AR) pathway plays an important role in some breast cancer subtypes. However few data are present on the concordance between AR expression in primary tumors and metastases. We investigated AR expression by using immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 164 primary tumors and 83 metastases, to explore its distribution in the different tumor subtypes and its concordance between the two sample types and according to sampling time. AR was more highly expressed in luminal A and B than HER2-positive and triple negative primary tumors. A similar distribution was found in metastases, and the concordance of AR expression between primary tumors and metastases was greater than 60%. No association between sampling time and AR expression was observed. We found a good concordance of AR expression between primary tumor and metastasis, but the variability remains high between the two types of specimens, regardless of the variation in sampling time. For this reason, if used for treatment decisions, AR evaluation should be repeated in each patient whenever a new biopsy is performed, as commonly done for the other breast cancer biomarkers. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer patients with chemotherapy-resistant residual microscopic disease in the peritoneal cavity have a considerable need for new treatment options. Alpha-emitting radionuclides injected intraperitoneally may be an attractive therapeutic option in this situation as they are highly cytotoxic, while their short range in tissues can spare surrounding radiosensitive organs in the abdomen. Herein we evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a novel α-emitting compound specifically designed for intracavitary radiation therapy. METHODS: The α-emitter 224Ra was absorbed on calcium carbonate microparticles. Immunodeficient, athymic nude mice with human ovarian cancer cells growing intraperitoneally were treated with different activity levels of 224Ra-microparticles. Tumor growth, survival, and tolerance of the treatment were assessed. Two tumor models based on the cell lines, ES-2 and SKOV3-luc, with different growth patterns were studied. RESULTS: In both models, intraperitoneal treatment with 224Ra-microparticles gave significant antitumor effect with either considerably reduced tumor volume or a survival benefit. An advantageous discovery was that only a few kilobecquerels per mouse were needed to yield therapeutic effects. The treatment was well tolerated up to a dose of 1000 kBq/kg with no signs of acute or subacute toxicity observed. CONCLUSIONS: Intraperitoneal α-therapy with 224Ra-microparticles demonstrated a significant potential for treatment of peritoneal micrometastases in ovarian carcinoma. 相似文献
