AB  - Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring malignancy and the leading
cause of cancer-related death in women. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is
the most aggressive breast cancer subtype and is associated with high recurrence
rates, high incidence of distant metastases and poor overall survival. The aim of
this study was to investigate the role PD-L1 (Programmed Death-Ligand 1), EGFR
(Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) and Androgen Receptor (AR) expression in
TNBC promotion, progression and response to therapy,
This is a retrospective analysis of 125 patients with triple-negative breast cancer
operated at the Institute of Oncology and Radiology of Serbia in the period
2009 to 2014. The expression of PD-L1, EGFR and AR wеre observed using the
immunohistochemical staining method. PD-L1 expression was determined using
the combined positive score (CPS), EGFR expression was determined using the
Allred scoring system with cut-off values: ≤4 and >4 (low/high expression) while
determining the expression status of AR involved a quantitative method based on
the percentage of nuclear expression of malignant cells of any intensity (cut-off value
for positive expression was ≥10%).
Elevated expression of PD-L1 significantly correlated with higher tumor grade
(p=0.0002), nuclear grade (p=0.0007) and loco-regional recurrence (p=0.0146).
Alone, it did not show any significant influence on survival (DFI or OS). Contrary
to this, the expression of AR showed an impact on DFI (Disease Free Interval,
p=0.0171). In addition, elevated AR expression significantly correlated with higher
tumor grade. Interestingly, the expression of PD-L1 and AR significantly correlated
(Spearman r -0.2747; 95% confidence interval -0.4339 to -0.09895: P (two-tailed)
0.0019) and we were able to make two groups of patients, those who had high simultaneous expression of both genes and those who had low expression. Our
results revealed that simultaneous high expression of PD-L1 and AR significantly
correlates with tumor grade (p=0.05), nuclear grade (p=o.0242) and metastases
(p=0.0497) and has significant impact on DFI (p=0.0191) and OS (overall survival)
(p=0.0471). Notably, the expression of Ki67 absolutely correlates with the expression
of PD-L1 and AR, has the same pattern of expression. Moreover, reduced expression
of EGFR contributes to metastases (p=0.0249) and worse OS (p=0.0127).
In conclusion, we believe that concurrent examination of PD-L1, AR, EGFR and
Ki67 protein expression may be more useful in predicting TNBC clinical course
than the analysis of single protein expression. Specifically, our results showed
that simultaneous high expression of PD-L1 and AR, followed by Ki67 expression
constitutes a ‘high risk’ profile of TNBC. Combining these results with our previous
findings on PTEN-reduced/PI3K-high/mTOR-high expression could be the
promising formula.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype and is associated with high recurrence rates, high incidence of distant metastases and poor overall survival. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cludin 3, claudin 4 and claudin 7 in TNBC promotion and progression. Claudins are tight junction (TJ) integral membrane proteins that are key regulators of the paracellular pathway. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 125 patients with triple-negative breast cancer operated at the Institute of Oncology and Radiology of Serbia in the period from 2009 to 2014. The expression of claudin 3, 4 and 7 was observed using the immunohistochemical staining method. The Allred scoring system was used with cut-off values: ≤4 and >4 (low/high expression). Results: Our results showed that the expression of claudins 3 and 4 correlate with higher nuclear gradus and low desease free interval (DFI). More over, the expression of claudin 3 and claudin 4 correlates (Spearman test p˂0.0001). In addition, high expression of claudin 7 is signifi cantly related to low DFI of patients (p˂0.005) and distant metastases. Conclusions: We concluded that claudin 3, claudin 4 and claudin 7 have significant impact on TNBC progression. Namely, elevated expression of these proteins significantly correlates with low DFI and distant metastases. In other words, elevated expression of claudins is a bad news for TNBC patients. Therefore, the expression of claudins could be a good prognostic marker for TNBC patients and potential target for future therapy protocols.

AB  - Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of malignancy and the leading cause
of cancer related death among women worldwide. More than 70% of all diagnosed invasive
BCs express steroid receptors and, as such, are subjected to endocrine therapy.
BC is exceptionally heterogeneous disease and therefore distinct treatment modalities
are necessary to address these differences. The aim of our study was to investigate
the impact of TP53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) inactivation on BC
response to different treatment modalities, as well as, their possible cooperation, on
post-operative BC samples. To that end the patients were classified, based on applied
adjuvant therapy, into four distinct groups: those that received hormonal therapy
(HT) only, hormonal therapy combined with chemotherapy (HT/CHT), hormonal
therapy combined with chemo and biological therapy (HT/CHT/H), and other systemic
therapies that exclude HT (for example CHT or H). Functional inactivation of
TP53 and PTEN TSG’s were studied by mutation, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and
hypermethylatyon analysis. Our results revealed that TP53 gene was altered in 63 out
of 90 specimens (70%), while the frequency of PTEN alterations was slightly lower,
54 out of 90 (60%) patients had inactivated PTEN. Simultaneous inactivation was
detected in 43 tested samples (48%) with significant association between two analyzed
TSGs. Further, we found that TP53 status has significant influence on patients’
therapy response. Patients with wild type TP53 show significantly better therapy response
regardless of the type of therapy, compared to carriers of altered p53 gene. In
support of this we showed that hormonally treated women with intact (wt) TP53 gene
had significantly longer survival rate (p=0.000001) when compared to: (i) hormonally
treated women with aberrant TP53gene, (ii) women with intact (wt) p53 subjected to
any of remaining three therapy combinations, and (iii) women with altered TP53 that
belong to second (HT/CHT), third (HT/CHT/H) or forth (systemic Th that exclude
HT) therapy group. Contrary to this, no significance was found between mutational status of PTEN and various treatment modalities. However, significant association
was found between the type of applied therapy and simultaneous alterations of these
two TSGs (p=0.00001).

abstract = "Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of malignancy and the leading cause
of cancer related death among women worldwide. More than 70% of all diagnosed invasive
BCs express steroid receptors and, as such, are subjected to endocrine therapy.
BC is exceptionally heterogeneous disease and therefore distinct treatment modalities
are necessary to address these differences. The aim of our study was to investigate
the impact of TP53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) inactivation on BC
response to different treatment modalities, as well as, their possible cooperation, on
post-operative BC samples. To that end the patients were classified, based on applied
adjuvant therapy, into four distinct groups: those that received hormonal therapy
(HT) only, hormonal therapy combined with chemotherapy (HT/CHT), hormonal
therapy combined with chemo and biological therapy (HT/CHT/H), and other systemic
therapies that exclude HT (for example CHT or H). Functional inactivation of
TP53 and PTEN TSG’s were studied by mutation, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and
hypermethylatyon analysis. Our results revealed that TP53 gene was altered in 63 out
of 90 specimens (70%), while the frequency of PTEN alterations was slightly lower,
54 out of 90 (60%) patients had inactivated PTEN. Simultaneous inactivation was
detected in 43 tested samples (48%) with significant association between two analyzed
TSGs. Further, we found that TP53 status has significant influence on patients’
therapy response. Patients with wild type TP53 show significantly better therapy response
regardless of the type of therapy, compared to carriers of altered p53 gene. In
support of this we showed that hormonally treated women with intact (wt) TP53 gene
had significantly longer survival rate (p=0.000001) when compared to: (i) hormonally
treated women with aberrant TP53gene, (ii) women with intact (wt) p53 subjected to
any of remaining three therapy combinations, and (iii) women with altered TP53 that
belong to second (HT/CHT), third (HT/CHT/H) or forth (systemic Th that exclude
HT) therapy group. Contrary to this, no significance was found between mutational status of PTEN and various treatment modalities. However, significant association
was found between the type of applied therapy and simultaneous alterations of these
two TSGs (p=0.00001)., Рак дојке је најчешћи тип малигнитета и водећи узрок смрти од канцера код

AB  - Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed and lethal malignancy in the
world. Lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC)
are two subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which differ markedly in
key clinical and biological features. Despite this, they are usually treated similarly.
It is imperative to elucidate the mechanisms behind these differences in order to
implement better therapeutic modalities and biomarkers. Increased expression of
carbonic anhydrases Ca9 and Ca12 was observed in a broad array of tumors. Ca9
and Ca12 have a crucial role in the maintenance of the neutral intracellular pH and
the acidic extracellular microenvironment which stimulates the proliferation and
metastasis of tumor cells. Our aim was to detect possible difference in expression
level of Ca9 and Ca12 in LAC and LSCC, and to investigate whether the expression
of Ca9 and Ca12 was associated with the clinical course and outcome. We evaluated
the Ca9 and Ca12 expressions in 71 lung cancers, 35 (49%) LAC and 36 (51%)
LSCC. After RNA isolation and reverse transcription, relative RNA expression level
was evaluated using Real Time PCR and TaqMan technology. Ca9 and Ca12 expression
status was calculated according to the 2-ΔΔCT method. We used median value
of expression to designate low and high expression groups. High level of Ca9 and
Ca12 expression were detected in 49% (35/71) and 48% (34/71) of NSCLC samples,
respectively. Low levels of expression were identified in the rest of the specimens.
High expression of Ca12 was associated with LSCC subtype (p<0.0001). No associations
between Ca9 or Ca12 expression and clinicopathological parameters were
detected when assessed independently. However, patients with high expression of
both Ca9 and Ca12 lived significantly shorter compared to the Ca9/Ca12 low expression
group, (p=0.02). Our results suggest that Ca12 expression contributes to
the differences observed between LAC and LSCC tumors. The upregulation of Ca12 may promote the aggressive behavior of NSCLC. Ca9-high/Ca12-high expression
constitutes a ‘high risk’ profile in NSCLC.

Аденокрацином плућа (енг. lung adenocarcinoma, LAC) и карцином сквамозних ћелија плућа (енг. lung squamous cell carcinoma, LSCC) су два подтипа неситноћелијског карцинома плућа са израженим разликама у кључним клиничким и биолошким карактеристикама. Упркос томе, ови подтипови се најчешће лече на врло сличан начин. Изузетно је важно да се разјасне механизми у основи ових разлика како би се успоставили бољи биомаркери и приступи у лечењу. У бројним типовима тумора примећена је повећана експресија карбонске анхидразе (Са) 9 и 12. Са9 и Са12 имају круцијалну улогу у одржавању неутралне унутарћелијске вредности рН и киселе ванћелијске микросредине што стимулише пролиферцију и метастазирање ћелија тумора. Наши циљеви су били да детектујемо могуће разлике у нивоу експресије Са9 и Са12 у LAC и LSCC, и да истражимо да ли је експресија Са9 и Са12 асоцирана са клиничким током и исходом болести. Испитали смо експресију Са9 и Са12 у 71 узорку карцинома плућа, 35 (49%) LAC и 36 (51%) LSCC. Након изолације РНК и реверзне транскрипције, релативни ниво експресије РНК утврђен је коришћењем квантитативног РСR-а у реалном времену базираног на TaqMan технологији. За израчунавање статуса експресије Са9 и Са12 коришћена је 2-ΔΔCT метода. Употребили смо медијану вредности експресије да дефинишемо групе са високом, односно ниском експресијом. Висок ниво експресије Са9 детектован је у 49% (35/71), а Са12 у 48% (34/71) узорака. Низак ниво експресије је идентификован у преосталим узорцима. Висока експресија Са12 била је асоцирана са LSCC подтипом (р<0.0001). Када су експресија Са9 и Са12 посматране независно, није уочена њихова асоцијација са клиничко-хистопатолошким параметрима. Међутим, пацијенти који су истовремено имали високу експресију и Са9 и Са12 су живели значајно краће у односу на пацијенте са ниском експресијом Са9/Са12, (р=0.02). Наши резултати сугеришу да експресија Са12 доприноси разликама уоченим између LAC и LSCC тумора. Појачана експресија Са12 можда подстиче агресивно понашање неситноћелијског карцинома плућа. Са9 висока/Са12 висока експресија представља профил “високог ризика” у неситноћелијском карциному плућа.

AB  - Introduction. Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of malignancy and the leading cause of cancer related death among women worldwide. BC is exceptionally heterogeneous disease and therefore distinct treatment modalities are necessary to address these differences. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of TP53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) inactivation on BC response to different treatment modalities and their possible cooperation, on post-operative BC samples.
Methods. Patients were classified, based on applied adjuvant therapy, into four distinct groups: those that received hormonal therapy (HT) only, hormonal therapy combined with chemotherapy (HT/CHT), hormonal therapy combined with chemo and biological therapy (HT/CHT/H), and other systemic therapies that exclude HT. Functional inactivation of TP53 and PTEN TSG’s were studied by mutation, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and hypermethylation analysis.
Results. Our results revealed that TP53 gene was altered in 63 out of 90 specimens (70%), while the frequency of PTEN alterations was slightly lower, 54 out of 90 (60%). Simultaneous inactivation was detected in 43 tested samples (48%) with significant association between two analyzed TSGs. Further, we found that TP53 status has significant influence on patients’ therapy response. Contrary to this, no significance was found between mutational status of PTEN and various treatment modalities. However, significant association was found between the type of applied therapy and simultaneous alterations of these two TSGs (p = 0.00001). 
Conclusion. Patients with wtTP53 show significantly better therapy response regardless of the type of therapy, compared to carriers of altered TPp53 gene.
AB  - Uvod. Rak dojke (RD) je najčešći tip maligniteta i vodeći uzrok smrti od raka kod žena širom sveta. RD
je izuzetno heterogena bolest i stoga su neophodni različiti modaliteti lečenja da bi se pokrile ove
razlike. Cilj našeg istraživanja je bio da se ispita uticaj inaktivacije TP53 i PTEN tumor supresorskih
gena (TSG) na odgovor RD na različite modalitete lečenja, kao i njihova moguća saradnja u tome, na
postoperativnim uzorcima RD.

abstract = "Introduction. Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of malignancy and the leading cause of cancer related death among women worldwide. BC is exceptionally heterogeneous disease and therefore distinct treatment modalities are necessary to address these differences. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of TP53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) inactivation on BC response to different treatment modalities and their possible cooperation, on post-operative BC samples.
Methods. Patients were classified, based on applied adjuvant therapy, into four distinct groups: those that received hormonal therapy (HT) only, hormonal therapy combined with chemotherapy (HT/CHT), hormonal therapy combined with chemo and biological therapy (HT/CHT/H), and other systemic therapies that exclude HT. Functional inactivation of TP53 and PTEN TSG’s were studied by mutation, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and hypermethylation analysis.
Results. Our results revealed that TP53 gene was altered in 63 out of 90 specimens (70%), while the frequency of PTEN alterations was slightly lower, 54 out of 90 (60%). Simultaneous inactivation was detected in 43 tested samples (48%) with significant association between two analyzed TSGs. Further, we found that TP53 status has significant influence on patients’ therapy response. Contrary to this, no significance was found between mutational status of PTEN and various treatment modalities. However, significant association was found between the type of applied therapy and simultaneous alterations of these two TSGs (p = 0.00001). 
Conclusion. Patients with wtTP53 show significantly better therapy response regardless of the type of therapy, compared to carriers of altered TPp53 gene., Uvod. Rak dojke (RD) je najčešći tip maligniteta i vodeći uzrok smrti od raka kod žena širom sveta. RD
je izuzetno heterogena bolest i stoga su neophodni različiti modaliteti lečenja da bi se pokrile ove
razlike. Cilj našeg istraživanja je bio da se ispita uticaj inaktivacije TP53 i PTEN tumor supresorskih
gena (TSG) na odgovor RD na različite modalitete lečenja, kao i njihova moguća saradnja u tome, na
postoperativnim uzorcima RD.

AB  - Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of malignancy and the leading cause of cancer related death among women worldwide. Multiple interconnected factors determine BC response to therapy and clinical outcome. TP53 and PTEN are the most frequently altered tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) in human cancers. Material and methods: To determine the potential influence of TSGs on the response to therapy we analyzed alterations of TP53 and PTEN in 90 BC specimens. The specimens were stratified based on systemic adjuvant therapy (hormonal therapy only (HT), HT and chemotherapy (HT/CHT), HT/CHT and biological therapy (HT/CHT/H). Functional inactivation of TP53 by mutations and/or loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and PTEN by LOH and/or promoter hypermethylation, were tested using single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, gene sequencing, fragment analysis and methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR) methods respectively. Results: Altered TP53 was found in 63/90 specimens (70%) while 54/90 (60%) had inactivated PTEN. Inactivation of PTEN was more frequent in tumors with altered TP53. Patients with altered TP53, lived shorter (p=0.0007) compared to those with wild type (wt) gene. The survival of patients with both TSGs altered was shorter compared to wt genes (p=0.024). Patients with wtTP53 treated with HT had longer survival (p=0.000001) when compared to all other groups. Women with both TSGs altered who received tamoxifen lived shorter than those on HT with both/one TSGs intact (p = 0.03). Conclusion: Patients with wtTP53 showed significantly better therapy response regardless of type of therapy, compared to carriers of altered TP53.

AB  - Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype and is associated with high recurrence rates, high incidence of distant metastases, and poor overall survival. The aim of this study was to investigate the PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR pathway as one of the most frequently deregulated pathways in cancer. We aimed to explore the impact of PI3K and mTOR oncogenes as well as the PTEN tumor suppressor on TNBC clinical behavior, prognosis, and multidrug resistance (MDR), using immunohistochemistry and copy number analysis by quantitative real-time PCR. Our results revealed that loss of PTEN and high expression of PI3K and mTOR proteins are associated with poor outcome of TNBC patients. PTEN deletions appeared as a major cause of reduced or absent PTEN expression in TNBC. Importantly, homozygous deletions of PTEN (and not hemizygous deletions) are a potential molecular marker of metastasis formation and good predictors of TNBC outcome. In conclusion, we believe that concurrent examination of PTEN/PI3K/mTOR protein expression may be more useful in predicting TNBC clinical course than the analysis of single protein expression. Specifically, our results showed that PTEN-reduced/PI3K-high/mTOR-high expression constitutes a 'high risk' profile of TNBC.

AB  - Background: ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are responsible for the efflux of a wide variety of anti-cancer agents and have been implicated in the chemoresistance of various solid tumors. Chemoresistance is a major cause of therapeutic failure, especially in the highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in which, unlike estrogen receptor-expressing (ER+) BC, both endocrine and targeted treatments are ineffectual. We aimed to investigate the level and frequency of expression of the three most important ABC transporter, ABCG2, ABCC1, and ABCB1, according to breast cancer subtype. Methods: We evaluated ABCG2, ABCC1, and ABCB1 protein expressions in 124 primary breast tumors (78 samples were classified as TNBC, while 46 were classified as ER+) by immunohistochemistry and correlated it to clinicopathological characteristics and outcome. Results: All three transporters had significantly higher expression and were more frequently expressed in TNBC compared to ER+ tumors (p < 0.0001). ABCG2 and ABCC1 had a very high level of expression in TNBC that was significantly greater compared to ABCB1 (p < 0.0001). ABCB1 expression was associated with TNBC metastatic spread (p = 0.03). In contrast, TNBC patients with high ABCG2 expression level had significantly longer disease-free interval (p = 0.03) and overall survival (p = 0.007). Conclusion: ABCG2, ABCC1, and ABCB1 expression in breast cancer is subtype-specific and associated with triple-negative tumors. The expression of ABCB1 may be useful as a marker of metastatic spread. Moreover, unexpectedly, our results showed a beneficial effect of ABCG2 expression on TNBC clinical behavior. These findings could have implications for the implementation of future TNBC treatment strategies.

AB  - Background: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by aggressive clinical course and is unresponsive to anti-HER2 and endocrine therapy. TNBC is difficult to treat and is often lethal. Given the need to find new targets for therapy we explored clinicopathological significance of copy number gain of FGFR1 and c-MYC. Our aim was to determine the impact of FGFR1 and c-MYC copy number gain on clinical course and outcome of TNBC. Methods: FGFR1 and c-MYC gene copy number alterations were evaluated in 78 archive TNBC samples using TaqMan based quantitative real time PCR assays. Results: 50% of samples had increased c-MYC copy number. c-MYC copy number gain was associated with TNBC in contrast to ER positive cancers. Our results showed significant correlation between c-MYC copy number gain and high grade of TNBCs. This suggests that c-MYC copy number could be an useful prognostic marker for TNBC patients. c-MYC copy number gain was associated with high pTNM stage as well as lobular and medullary tumor subtypes. 43% of samples had increased FGFR1 copy number. No correlations between FGFR1 copy number gain and clinicopathological variables were observed. Conclusions: We identified c-MYC copy number gain as a prognostic marker for TNBC. Our results indicate that c- MYC may contribute to TNBC progression. We observed no significant association between c-MYC and/or FGFR1 copy number status and patient survival.

TNBC is difficult to treat and is often lethal. Given the need to find new targets for therapy we explored clinicopathological significance of copy number gain of FGFR1 and c-MYC. Our aim was to determine the impact of FGFR1 and c-MYC copy number gain on clinical course and outcome of TNBC. Methods: FGFR1 and c-MYC gene copy number alterations were evaluated in 78 archive TNBC samples using TaqMan based quantitative real time PCR assays. Results: 50% of samples had increased c-MYC copy number. c-MYC copy number gain was associated with TNBC in contrast to ER positive cancers. Our results showed significant correlation between c-MYC copy number gain and high grade of TNBCs. This suggests that c-MYC copy number could be an useful prognostic marker for TNBC patients. c-MYC copy number gain was associated with high pTNM stage as well as lobular and medullary tumor subtypes. 43% of samples had increased FGFR1 copy number. No correlations between FGFR1 copy number gain and clinicopathological variables were observed. Conclusions: We identified c-MYC copy number gain as a prognostic marker for TNBC. Our results indicate that c- MYC may contribute to TNBC progression. We observed no significant association between c-MYC and/or FGFR1 copy number status and patient survival.",

AB  - Background: Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. It arises from multiple genetic changes in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Among so far studied oncogenes relatively few, including epdermal growth factor receptor (EGfR), cyclinD1 (CCNDİ)and c-myc, have been found to play an important role in progression of this type of human malignancy. The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic potential of CCND1, c-myc and EGFR amplification and their possible cooperation in breast carcinogenesis. Methods: Copy number analyses of CCND1 and c-myc genes were done by TaqMan based quantitative real time PCR. Amplification status of EGFR was determined by differential Pcr. Results: Amplification of CCND1, c-myc and EGFR oncogene has been found in 20.4%, 26.5% and 26.5% of breast cancer cases, respectively. Analysis showed that amplification of CCND1 oncogene was significantly associated with the stage II of disease while amplification of EGFR gene was significantly associated with overexpression of HER-2/neu. Tumour stage and expression of HER-2/neu appeared to be significant predictors of patient's outcome. Stage I patients lived significantly longer then stage III patients (p=0.04) while patients with HER-2/neu overexpression had worse prognoses and lived significantly shorter (p=0.001). Finally, survival of patients who underwent hormone therapy only was significantly longer (p=0.001) then survival of the rest of patients. Conclusions: Amplification of CCND1 or EGFR oncogene is associated with the progression of breast cancer and bad prognosis. No co-ordination in amplification of CCND1, c-myc and EGFR oncogenes were established in this cohort of breast cancer patients.
AB  - Uvod: Kancer dojke je najčešći tip maligniteta koji se javljaju kod žena. Tumori dojke nastaju kao rezultat akumulacije genetičkih promena kako u onkogenima tako i u tumor supresorskim genima. Među mnogim onkogenima čija je uloga u genezi tumora dojke ispitivana do danas, samo se neki smatraju značajnim za razviće ovih karcinoma. U tu se grupu svakako ubrajaju receptor za epidermalni factor rasta (EGFR), c-myc i ciklinD1 (CCND1). Cilj rada je bio utvrditi prognostički značaj amplifikacije CCND1, c-myc i EGFR onkogena u razviću tumora dojke kao i eventualne međusobne koalteracije ovih gena. Metode: Amplifikacioni status CCND1 i c-myc gena određen je kvantitativnim PCR-om u realnom vremenu, a amplifikacioni status EGFR onkogena je definisan diferencijalnim PCR-om. Rezultati: Amplifikacija CCND1 gena detektovana je kod 20.4%, a c-myc i EGFR onkogena kod 26.5% ispitanih uzoraka. Analize su pokazale da je amplifikacija CCND1 onkogena statistički značajno povezana sa stadijumom II tumora dojke kao i da amplifikacija EGFR-a značajno korelira sa povećanom ekspresijom HER2/neu. Analize kliničkih i histopatoloških parametara su jasno pokazale da stadijum tumora i nivo ekspresije HER2/neu gena predstavljaju značajne pokazatelje daljeg toka bolesti, odnosno sudbine pacijenta. Utvrđeno je da pacijentkinje sa tumorima dojke stadijuma I žive značajno duže od onih sa tumorom stadijuma III (p= 0.04) kao i da pacijentkinje sa HER2/neu pozitivnim statusom imaju goru prognozu i žive značajno krace (p=0.001). Na kraju, studija je pokazala da pacijentkinje podvrgnute samo hormonskoj terapiji imaju najbolju prognozu i žive značajno duže od ostalih (p=0.001). Zaključak: Amplifikacija CCND1 i EGFR onkogena je povezana sa lošom prognozom i progresijom karcinoma dojke. U ispitivanom tumorskom uzorku nisu detektovane nikakve koalteracije CCND1, c-myc i EGFR onkogena.
