Abstract
Objective To explore the value of convergence symptom in predicting the treatment sensitivity and the prognosis of patients with breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC).Methods A retrospective review was performed in 46 women with 47 IDC lesions.Correlation between clinicopathological characteristics and convergence symptom was analyzed.Clinicopathological characteristics included tumor size,tumor grade,axillary lymph node state and the expression of ER,PR and H ER2.Results There was no obvious difference within different IDC groups by tumor size or axillary lymph node state in the presentation of convergence symptom (P ＞ 0.05).The convergence symptom was more common in grade Ⅱ IDC lesions than in grade Ⅲ IDC lesions and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.008).No difference was found between the presentation of convergence symptom and the expression of ER (P =0.055).Significant correlations were found between the presentation of convergence symptom and the expression of PR and HER2 (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Convergence symptom is helpful in predicting the treatment sensitivity and the prognosis of patients with breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma.
