摘要:
目的 神经浸润在乳腺癌中的预后和生存意义尚未明确,本研究旨在分析其与乳腺癌临床病理特征的关系及对预后的影响,为精准评估乳腺癌的预后提供依据。 方法 选取2018年1月—2021年12月在湖州市妇幼保健院诊治的159例乳腺癌患者为研究对象,根据患者是否存在神经浸润,分为神经浸润组(43例)和非浸润组(116例)。比较2组临床病理特征,采用单因素及多因素logistic回归分析影响乳腺癌发生神经浸润的危险因素,用Kaplan-Meier法绘制生存曲线,比较2组无病生存期的差异。采用Cox回归分析探究影响乳腺癌患者预后的因素。 结果 159例乳腺癌中,43例(27.0%)发生神经浸润。单因素分析显示,2组T分期、腋窝淋巴结转移、TNM分期、Ki-67表达水平差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05);多因素logistic二元回归分析显示,腋窝淋巴结转移、TNM分期、Ki-67表达水平均为乳腺癌发生神经浸润的独立影响因素(P < 0.05)。43例伴神经浸润患者无病生存率为67.4%,116例无神经浸润患者无病生存率为87.9%,差异有统计学意义(χ2=12.693,P < 0.05)。单因素Cox回归分析显示,雌激素受体、孕激素受体、T分期、TNM分期、核分级、神经浸润、分子分型均为患者预后的影响因素(P < 0.05);多因素Cox回归分析显示,三阴型乳腺癌、神经浸润均为患者的独立预后因素(P < 0.05)。 结论 腋窝淋巴结转移、TNM分期、Ki-67高表达是乳腺癌发生神经浸润的独立相关因素,神经浸润是乳腺癌患者的独立预后因素,可作为评价预后的指标。 Abstract:Objective The prognostic and survival significance of perineural invasion in breast cancer was not clear, the relationship of perineural invasion with clinicopathological characteristics and the effect on the prognosis of breast cancer were analyzed, so as to provide a basis for accurate evaluation of the prognosis of breast cancer. Methods A total of 159 breast cancer patients in Huzhou Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. According to the presence of perineural invasion, the patients were divided into the PNI-positive group (n=43) and the PNI-negative group (n=116). The clinicopathological characteristics of two groups of breast cancer patients were compared, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of neural invasion of breast cancer. Moreover, the Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves to compare the differences in disease-free survival between the two groups of patients. Meantime, Cox regression analysis was used to explore the factors affecting the prognosis of breast cancer patients. Results Among 159 cases of breast cancer, 43 cases (27.0%) had a perineural invasion. Univariate analysis showed that T stage, axillary lymph node metastasis, TNM staging, and the expression levels of Ki-67 of breast cancer were correlated with perineural invasion (P < 0.05); In the logistic binary regression analysis with multiple factor analysis, axillary lymph node metastasis, TNM staging, and the expression levels of Ki-67 were independent factors influencing the occurrence of breast cancer perineural invasion(P < 0.05). The disease-free survival rate of 43 patients with nerve infiltration was 67.4%, while the disease-free survival rate of 116 patients without nerve infiltration was 87.9%. The difference in disease-free survival rates between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=12.693, P < 0.05). The results of univariate Cox regression analysis showed that estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, T stage, TNM staging, nuclear grade, neural infiltration, and molecular typing were the prognostic factors for breast cancer patients (P < 0.05); Cox regression analysis showed that triple-negative breast cancer and perineural invasion were independent prognostic factors of patients with breast cancer (P < 0.05). Conclusion Axillary lymph node metastasis, TNM staging, and Ki-67 overexpression were independent related factors of nerve invasion in breast cancer, perineural invasion was an independent prognostic factor of breast cancer patients. It could be used as an indicator to evaluate the prognosis of patients. -
