P2-12-32: Association between Progranulin (GP88) Expression and Recurrence Risk for Breast Cancer Patients with Estrogen Receptor Positive Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.
Abstract:Purpose: GP88 (progranulin) is a critical player of breast tumorigenesis for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Pathological studies showed that GP88 was expressed in invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), but not in normal mammary tissue, benign lesions or lobular carcinoma. The present study examines GP88 prognostic significance in association with recurrence risk for patients with ER+ IDC.
Patients and Methods: Two retrospective multi-site clinical studies examined GP88 expression by i… Show more
