Background/aim

The role of cathepsin-D is well established in breast cancer progression, being correlated with worse clinical outcomes. However, to our knowledge, no study has been performed investigating its expression in primary breast cancer tumors and their corresponding recurrences or metastasis.

Materials and methods

Tissue sections from ten breast cancer cases and their corresponding local recurrences and six breast cancer cases and their corresponding metastases were immunohistochemically assessed for cathepsin-D reactivity. Cases diagnosed as either ductal carcinoma in situ (n=7), or breast carcinoma with no evidence of local recurrence or metastasis during follow-up (n=8) served as controls.

Results

Cathepsin-D was significantly up-regulated in all the study groups compared to controls. No difference was found between primary tumors and their corresponding recurrences or metastases.

Conclusion

Cathepsin-D-expressing breast cancer cells seem to be involved in local recurrence or metastasis formation. Large series are needed to further verify this result with the aim of possible future molecular intervention."xsd:string
