Correlation of Baseline BCL-2 mRNA Expression and Clinical Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer
Keywords:
Breast Cancer, Chemotherapy, Clinical Response, mRNA, BCL-2, qRT-PCR.Abstract
Background: Impairment of apoptosis is a hallmark of cancer. Tumor resistance to apoptosis usually caused by deregulation of the expression of BCL-2 family protein or mutation of the tumor suppressor gene p53. Over expression of Bcl-2 is commonly found in various types of cancer including breast cancer. Studies mentioned that analysis of Bcl-2 might predict response to selected endocrine and chemotherapies. Purpose: Evaluation of correlation of BCL-2 mRNA expression and clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Method: longitudinal study, 30 subjects of breast cancer tissue samples prechemotherapy using cyclophosphamide-adriamycin-5FU regiment.
Detection of mRNA expression of BCL-2 using qRT-PCR techniques.
