RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar a expressão da proteína p53 no carcinoma de mama ductal invasivo e avaliar a sua associação com o grau histológico e o grau nuclear. Métodos: foram incluídas sessenta e cinco mulheres atendidas consecutivamente, entre julho de 1999 e julho de 2001. Todas tiveram diagnóstico de carcinoma primário de mama ductal invasivo. As pacientes foram primeiramente tratadas por terapia cirúrgica conservadora ou mastectomia. Nenhuma paciente recebeu terapia neoadjuvante. Os espécimes cirúrgicos dos tumores foram fixados em formalina a 10%, posteriormente incluídos em parafina e conservados para análise imuno-histoquimica. A expressão da proteína p53 foi avaliada. Foi utilizado o anticorpo primário monoclonal anti-humano p53 DO -7 (DAKO). As distribuições das freqüências foram avaliadas pelo teste do χ 2 . O valor p<0,05 foi considerado significante. Resultados: a expressão da p53 foi detectada em 24 (36,9%) dos 65 carcinomas. Entre os casos com expressão da proteína, 13 (54,2%) tinham alto grau histológico (grau III). Oito casos (33,3%) tinham grau II e, 3 ( 12,5%) foram de grau I. Na análise do grau nuclear, entre os casos que expressaram a proteína foram observados 13 (54,2%) grau 3, 9 casos (37,5%) grau 2 e dois casos (8,3%), grau 1. A expressão da proteína p53 foi freqüente nos carcinomas com alto grau histológico e nuclear. Conclusão: a expressão da p53 esteve associada com grau histológico de forma significativa. Por outro lado, o grau nuclear não esteve relacionado significativamente com a expressão da p53.

Methods: sixty-five consecutive females who were diagnosed with primary infiltrating ductal breast tumor from July 1999 to July 2001 were included in the present study. Mean patient age at diagnosis was 69.2 years (range 41 -90). All patients were first treated with surgical therapy, conservative surgery or mastectomy. None of the patients received any preoperative adjuvant therapy. Resected breast tumor specimens were fixed in 10% formalin, paraffin embedded, and conserved for immunohistochemical analysis. p53 protein expression was evaluated. Primary monoclonal anti-human p53 antibody DO-7 (DAKO) was used. Frequency distributions were tested by the χ 2 test. A level of p<0,05 was considered significant. Results: p53 expression was detected in 24 (36,9%) of 65 carcinomas. Of the cases with protein expression, 13 (54,2%) were high or histological grade III, 8 (33,3%), were grade II, 3 (12,5%) were grade I. On nuclear grade analysis, of the cases with protein expression, 13 (4,2%) were nuclear grade III, 9 (37,5%) were grade II and 2 (8,3%) were grade I. p53 expression was frequent in carcinomas with high histological and nuclear grades. Conclusions: p53 expression was significantly associated with the histological grade...
