The diagnostic value of DNA repair gene in breast cancer metastasis.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in China and even in the world. DNA repair genes can lead to tumor metastasis by affecting cancer cell resistance. Studies have preliminarily shown that DNA repair genes are related to breast cancer metastasis, but it is not clear whether they can be used as a prediction of the risk of breast cancer metastasis. Therefore, this study mainly discusses the predictive value of DNA repair genes in postoperative metastasis of breast cancer. The nested case-control method was used in patients with breast cancer metastasis after surgery (n?=?103) and patients without metastasis after surgery (n?=?103). The proteins and mRNA of DNA repair genes were detected by immunohistochemistry and Real-time PCR respectively. In protein expression, PARP1 (OR 1.147, 95% CI 1.067?~?1.233, P??6, XRCC4 (IHC score)?>?6 and ERCC1 (IHC score)?>?3. In addition, the combined diagnosis of PARP1, XRCC4 and ERCC1 has great predictive value for the risk of breast cancer metastasis.
