Survinin expression in patients with breast cancer during chemotherapy

Abstract: Breast cancer (BC) is the second most common cancer worldwide and the first among women. If early diagnosed and treated, this disease has a good prognosis. However, it is believed that 90 % of all patients who have had cancer died due to metastatic disease, which highlights the need for a marker which allows the detection of latent cancer cells spread from the primary tumor. The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of survinin in peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer at diagnosis… Show more

“…Moreover, we found high expression of BIRC5 to be associated with worse clinical outcome in human breast cancer patients ( Supplementary Fig. 10c ), consistent with previous analyses of much smaller cohorts 28 29 . Lastly, knockdown of BIRC5-induced apoptosis and/or reduced colony formation capacity of breast cancer cell lines of the basal 30 , HER2 31 and luminal 32 subtypes, further supporting its subtype-independent oncogenic role in breast cancer.…”

“…Overexpression of BIRC5 in breast cancer is associated with increased resistance to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, increased grade and tumour size, as well as with the decreased survival rate [47]. According to Marsicano et al breast cancer patients with higher expression of BIRC5 have signi cantly greater chance of developing metastasis than patients with lower expression [48]. Similar results were observed during present study which suggested that BIRC5 overexpression could be a potential prognostic and diagnostic biomarker in breast cancer.…”

“…Thus, our findings provided evidence that BIRC5 could be a useful predictive prognostic marker for breast cancer. Indeed, several studies have reported BIRC5 as a prognostic marker in breast cancer through experimental evidences [25][26][27]. However, the sample size is small and the evidence is insufficient for a single experimental paper.…”
