유방암환자의 호르몬수용체와 유방촬영술 소견과의 관계

Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between the hormonal receptor status and the mammographic finding inbreast cancer, thus to disclose whether the mammorgraphic findings would be the prognostic predictor of not.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty breast cancer patients with hormonal receptor assay were included in this study.Hormonal status and mammographic findings were evaluated to disclose the relationship between the two variables.RESULTS: Among 26 positive estrogen receptor(ER) patients, 23 cases showed spiculations, 4 cases with increasedparenchymal densities, 15 cases with calcifications, and 18 with mass-like lesions. Among 25 positive progesteronereceptor(PR) patients, 22 cases showed spiculations, 6 with increased parenchymal densities, 12withcalcifications, 17 with mass-like lesions. Among 24 negative ER patients, 10 showed spiculations, 9 increasedparenchymal densities, 12 calcifications, and 13 mass lesions. Among 25 negative PR patients, 17 showedspiculations, 8 increased parenchymal densities, 15 calcifications, and 13 mass lesions. CONCLUSION: Spiculationin mammography could relatd to high incidence of positive estrogen receptor.
