Abstract

Objective:To explore the character and significance of Maspin expression in different breast cancer.Methods:Maxvision immunohistochemical method was used to assess the expression of Maspin in different breast carcinoma.And the relationship between expression of Maspin and that of ER,PR,C-erbB-2,VEGF,MVD,lymph node metastasis in invasion lobular carcinoma,ductal carcinoma was statistically analyzed.Results:Positive expression in ductal carcinoma in stiu,invasive carcinoma of no special type,infiltrating lobular carcinoma was 36.4%,23.5%,9.1% respectively,but no significant statistical difference(P0.05) between groups.Maspin expression was not found in Medullary carcinoma and tubular carcinoma.Maspinpositive cases showed a significant decrease in MVD and/or C-erbB-2 expression(P0.05).Conclusions:Maspin may depend largely on its antiogentic activity to inhibit tumor.
