Comparative Expression of ER,PR and HER2/Neu in Initial and Recurrent Breast Cancer.

Comparative Expression of ER,PR and HER2/Neu in Initial and Recurrent Breast Cancer.

Expression of ER, PR and HER2/neu in initial and recurrent breast cancer and correlate the results to different clinical and pathological parameters as patient age,sex, tumor location, status of nodal involvement and lymphovascular invasion

Clinical data, pathological data, expression status of ER, PR and HER2/neu of both initial tumor and recurrent tumor and received treatment for BC patients diagnosed between January 2021 and December 2024 will be extracted from archive of multidisciplinary team (MDT) for management of BC at Sohag Oncology Center. In addition; hematoxylin and eosin stained slides and immune-stained slides for ER, PR and HER2/neu for selected patient's will be retrieved from archives of Pathology unit at Sohag Oncology Center and reviewed to confirm pathological features, ER expression, PR expression and HER2 status of both initial and recurrent tumor tissues.

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with excised breast cancer then experienced recurrence at same site. Patients with evaluated ER, PR and HER2/neu for both initial and recurrent tumors.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cases with insufficient clinical of pathological data. Deficient ER, PR and HER2/neu status in either initial or recurrent tumor
