Abstract | ||
Purpose: The aim of this study is aimed to demonstrate the changes in the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), Ki-67, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the patients with locally advanced breast cancer. Materials and Methods: seventy patients who diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer and treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Ki-67, ER, PR, tested by immunohistochemistry (IHC) was evaluated before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Results: There was a statistically significant reduction in Ki-67, but no statistically significant reduction in ER, PR, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusion: The significant change in the Ki-67 proliferation index may suggest the reduced proliferative activity of malignant cells with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. | ||
