ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between abnormal thyroid function and benign or malignant breast tumors. MethodsThe contents of free iodine three original acid (FT3), three iodine original acid (T3), thyroxine (T4), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (Anti-TG), and antithyroid peroxidase antibody (Anti-TPO) were detected by chemiluminescence method in 563 patients with benign breast neoplasms, 87 patients with breast cancer, and 123 health examination population. ResultsT3 and T4 levels in patients with breast cancer were lower than those of normal control group and benign tumor group (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant difference in the levels of FT3, FT4, and TSH between the 3 groups (P > 0.05). The positive rates of Anti-TPO and Anti-TG were higher than those of benign group and normal group (P < 0.001). T3 and T4 levels in patients with breast cancer were not related to the expression of ER and PR, in Her-2 negative expression and lymph node metastasis were relatively low (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe decrease of contents of T3 and T4, and the positive expressions of Anti-TPO and Anti-TG may provide a basis for predicting the incidence of breast cancer.
ObjectiveTo study the relationship between clinical features of patients with phyllodes tumor of breast (PTB) and reccurence, distant metastasis, and prognosis.MethodsThe clinical data of 96 patients with PTB treated in this hospital from March 2011 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The correlation of clinical features with local recurrence and distant metastasis were analyzed by the Chi-square test and logistic regression. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compute disease-free survival (DFS). The correlation of clinical features with prognosis was analyzed by the log-rank test and Cox regression.ResultsNinety-four patients with PTB showed the unilateral single nodule, 2 patients showed the bilateral nodule. The benign tumor had 36 patients, borderline tumor had 34 patients, malignant tumor had 26 patients. A total of 27 patients had local recurrence, 4 patients had distant metastasis, 4 patients died during the follow-up period. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year accumulate DFS rate was 81.2%, 64.9%, and 64.9%, respectively. The accumulate 5-year overall survival rate was 92.3%. The multivariate analysis showed that the age, types of tumor, and surgical method were related to the local recurrence (P<0.050), and no clinicopathological factors were found to be related to the distant metastasis (P>0.050). It was found that type of tumor was the independent factor affecting prognosis (P<0.050).ConclusionsFor PTB, the recurrence rate is higher, the age and tumor types are the independent recurrent factors. Surgical treatment is the primary management, extend resection and mastectomy are alternative operation.
